by Issey Miyake
L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme is a timeless, intensely fresh citrus aromatic fragrance that stands out for its bold opening of yuzu, bergamot, and calone, creating an invigorating, almost icy sensation. Its character evolves from sharp and citric to aromatically herbal, floral, and deeply woody with sandalwood, cedar, and a subtle tobacco touch, resulting in a clean, sophisticated, and versatile scent. It’s highly notable for its exceptional performance—longevity and projection remain strong even in hot conditions, making it reliable for everyday wear during spring and summer. While it's considered unisex and widely admired, the notes are perceived as pristine and non-chemical by many, though a few find it too sharp or synthetic initially. The scent lingers discreetly as a refined skin scent, offering a balance between punchy citrus freshness and a nuanced, enduring dry down.
