Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Wood & Wood, Sample
Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Wood & Wood is a masculine Woody fragrance that captivates with its vibrant and robust character. Opening with the crisp, invigorating scent of grapefruit, this fragrance immediately energises the senses. The zesty citrus is complemented by the spicy warmth of elemi and cardamom, creating a bright yet grounding introduction. This lively top note combination sets the stage for the depth that follows.
In the heart of the fragrance, the juicy sweetness of apricot mingles with the smooth, resinous quality of ambroxan. The rich, creamy notes of Virginian cedar and sandalwood provide a sturdy core, adding a sophisticated dimension to the scent. This heart is both warm and inviting, a perfect balance of fruity freshness and woody strength that defines its modern masculine appeal.
As the fragrance transitions to its base, the intensity of woody notes emerges, underscored by the earthy richness of Haitian vetiver and the dark, aromatic presence of patchouli. These base notes lend a lasting impression, enveloping the wearer in a comforting, robust aura. The evolution from the lively top to the deep, textured base creates a dynamic and enduring olfactory experience that is distinctly powerful and refined.
