L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Intense
L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Intense from Issey Miyake is an eau de toilette in a 125ml bottle, first launched in 2015 and made in Japan. It is an aromatic, fresh spicy fragrance with clean citrus brightness and a woody, green undertone, a more concentrated and energetic take on the original L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme.
The opening is sharp and invigorating, with a zesty citrus and herbal freshness that gives way to a spiced heart. Pink pepper adds a warm, slightly peppery lift through the middle, softened by a lavender character. As it settles, a dry, earthy woody base takes over, with vetiver and patchouli giving depth and a soft musky finish that stays close to the skin.
The character is dynamic but controlled, suited to the professional day, casual outings and evenings out. Its freshness makes it an easy choice for spring and summer, while the spicy warmth gives it enough presence to carry into autumn and winter.
Strong sillage means it generally carries well across a room, and its longevity is typically long lasting through a working day. The 125ml size suits regular, everyday wear.
