L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Gift Set
Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme is a clean citrus and water scent: yuzu, lemon and tangerine struck bright at the top, a cool water lily heart, and a base of sandalwood, vetiver and amber that gives the freshness somewhere to sit. It smells washed rather than perfumed. The whole composition is cool in temperature as much as in tone.
The sequence is deliberate. The citruses are tart and short-lived, the water lily carries the middle with an aquatic, almost mineral quality, and then the wood takes over: vetiver earthy and bitter, sandalwood smooth, amber warming the close. Lavender and fresh spicy touches run alongside the herbal and aromatic facets, which is what keeps the fragrance sharp instead of soapy. On skin the vetiver is what you are left with after an hour or two.
L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme was composed by Jacques Cavallier and launched in 1994. Issey Miyake established the Miyake Design Studio in April 1970; 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.
It has moderate longevity and moderate sillage, making it a close-wearing scent rather than one that fills a room. It works across all four seasons and suits casual wear, professional wear and a night out. This is the gift set version.
