Eden Perfumes No.136 l'eau d'issey is an Eau de Parfum. No.136 l'eau d'issey opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Yuzu, and Cypress, settles into a heart of Geranium, Lily of the Valley, Lotus, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Eden Perfumes's No.136 l'eau d'issey carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Eden's take on L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme leans into the same bright yuzu-and-bergamot opening balanced by soft florals and warm woods - a faithful, wearable rendition of the 1994 original's clean, understated masculine signature, if a touch shorter-lived.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

No.136 is Eden Perfumes' version of L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme, the 1994 Issey Miyake release still regarded as a benchmark for clean, understated masculine fragrances. It opens with a very fresh citrus burst led by yuzu alongside mandarin, bergamot, lemon verbena and a touch of cypress and tarragon - crisp and slightly metallic rather than sweet, exactly the character reviewers still describe as 'a Zen garden made of glass and cold mountain water'. The heart softens things considerably with nutmeg, cinnamon, geranium, saffron, lily of the valley and blue lotus, adding a delicate floral-spicy warmth that keeps the composition from feeling one-dimensional. It settles into a woody, faintly aquatic base of cedar, sandalwood, vetiver, musk, amber and tobacco that grounds the whole thing without weighing it down. This is a genuinely versatile fragrance - fresh enough for daytime office wear, distinctive enough not to smell generic, and true to reviews of the original, projection is pleasant rather than overwhelming with moderate longevity that suits reapplication over a long day. A solid, accessible way to try that 90s Japanese-minimalist masculine style without the full retail price.
