This is a fragrance that I had been looking forward to reviewing for a long time, created in 1994 L eau d Issey pour homme or just simply Issey Pour Homme is the master piece of Jacque Cavallier one of the great perfume masters of our time.
Issey Miyake L eau d Issey is perhaps lauded as the best aquatic fragrance of all time, some people may disagree but I personally love this fragrance. Issey Pour homme it is safe to say is loved by men, it is loved by women who smell it on men and it is not unheard of for women to also wear this fragrance due to its tender scent and freshness.
Opening with a breath of fresh air L’eau D’Issey has top notes of Yuzu, Cypress, Coriander, Mandarin, Clary Sage and Fresh Verbena which when combined are best described a breath of fresh air or a light summers breeze that you welcome on a hot day.
Once the top notes have settled Issey Miyake for men drys down into a suberb floral of citruses that last for hours with middle notes of Blue Water Lily, Nutmeg, Saffron, Bourbon Geranium, and Ceylonese Cinnamon. The base is comprised of Tobacco Amber, Musk, Indian Sandalwood, Haitian Vetiver, and Cypriol.
One of those most applauded characteristics of Issey Pour Homme is that it last for ever, it has to be said that you can apply it on a morning and wake up smelling it the next, and with perfect silage it means that everyone around you can smell it but not be overpowered by the scent.
For me this is the best male aquatic scent, sometimes under talked about never overated.
