L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme

This composition creates a stark contrast between a biting, icy citrus opening and a grounded, woody core. Bright yuzu and mandarin orange slice through the heavy air with immediate clarity, softened by the calm, greenish drift of water lily. As the scent settles, nutmeg and cinnamon introduce a dry, dusty spice that leads into a base of sandalwood, tobacco, and vetiver. It maintains a clean, architectural silhouette that persists through long hours, offering a crisp, masculine edge that resists the heat without ever becoming cloying. The amber provides a quiet, resinous weight that keeps the wood notes lingering close to the skin.
