L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Gift Set
Yuzu opens Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme with a sharp, slightly bitter citrus bite, lemon and tangerine widening it, and the whole top reads cold and clean rather than sweet. Water lily follows and holds that coolness in place before the wood arrives. It smells of being freshly showered rather than of being perfumed.
From the citrus the fragrance moves into an aquatic floral heart, water lily transparent and faintly green, and then down into sandalwood, vetiver and amber. The base is where it gains its warmth: sandalwood creamy, vetiver earthy and dry, amber soft behind both. Fresh spicy and lavender facets thread through the middle, with herbal and aromatic greenery keeping the whole thing crisp. The citrus does most of the first ten minutes and then steps aside.
Jacques Cavallier created L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme in 1994. Issey Miyake established the Miyake Design Studio in April 1970, and the house's fragrance line began with L'Eau d'Issey in 1992, built around water, which Miyake described as both the greatest material and the greatest source of inspiration.
Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it sits close to the skin and stays personal through the day rather than projecting across a room. It wears in every season, strongest in spring and summer, and works for the office, for casual days and for an evening out. It comes as a gift set. A set is also the easiest way to try it if you have only ever smelled it on someone else.
