L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme

Name: L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme
Brand: Issey Miyake

Launched in 1994, composed by Jacques Cavallier Belletrud. Leans masculine.

Yuzu, lemon and tangerine bring bright, tart peel around watery flowers and nutmeg, with creamy sandalwood, earthy vetiver and amber adding a warmer wooden backdrop.

Tart citrusWater petalsWarm woods

Who loves it: For citrus fans who enjoy watery flowers and softly spiced woods on spring days or daytime outings.
Skip it if: Pass if you want citrus alone without floral notes, nutmeg or warm amber beneath it.

How it wears

Bracing citrus opens into watery florals and gentle spice before settling into woods and musk. Moderate longevity and projection work best on spring and summer days.
