Fragrance Notes
L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Deodorant 150ml
The scent here is L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme: yuzu, lemon and tangerine at the opening, bright and a little bitter, then water lily giving the middle a cool aquatic cleanness, and sandalwood, vetiver and amber grounding it with a dry woody warmth. Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Deodorant 150ml carries that composition in a deodorant format.
The movement is from citrus to water to wood. The three citruses are sharp rather than sweet, the water lily keeps the heart transparent, and the base does the quiet work: sandalwood creamy, vetiver earthy, amber warm. Fresh spicy and lavender facets run through it alongside the herbal and aromatic greenery, which is what gives the fragrance its clean, slightly peppery signature. The citrus is the part most people recognise immediately; the wood is what is left at the end of the day.
Jacques Cavallier composed L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme, launched in 1994. Issey Miyake established the Miyake Design Studio in April 1970, and the fragrance line began with L'Eau d'Issey in 1992, built around water, which Miyake called both the greatest material and the greatest source of inspiration.
This is a deodorant rather than a spray fragrance, so it is there for daily grooming and leaves a light trace of the scent on the skin; worn under the eau de toilette it keeps the same accord running rather than cutting across it. It suits every season and any occasion, from the working day to a casual weekend to an evening out. Used on its own it reads as a clean, lightly scented deodorant rather than a substitute for the fragrance.
