Prices sit in the designer band, about $16 to $160, most pieces near $70. Top accords are fresh, synthetic, woody, spicy and floral. Standout live picks: Nuit d'Issey Bois Arctic (fresh citrus and basil with smoky tobacco, $132), Le Sel d'Issey (cool sea breeze with ginger bite and cedar, $135), L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Yuzu (bright yuzu citrus with cool cedar breeze, $160), L'Eau Bleue d'Issey Pour Homme (cool citrus sea breeze with rosemary and cedar, $41.87), Le Sel d'Issey Parfum (salty ocean air with dark woods, $93.09).
