L’Eau d’Issey pour Homme Edition Bois

by Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud

Issey Miyake L’Eau d’Issey pour Homme Edition Bois is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2010, created by Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud. L’Eau d’Issey pour Homme Edition Bois opens with Yuzu, Tarragon, Lemon Verbena, and Cypress, settles into a heart of Lily Of The Valley, Geranium, Mignonette, and Lotus, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Sandalwood, Musk, and Cedar. Issey Miyake's L’Eau d’Issey pour Homme Edition Bois carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This one's a bit of a head-scratcher. While some claim it's a beefed-up version of the original, others insist it's identical, just in fancy packaging. Either way, expect a potent, citrus-heavy punch that screams old-school aquatic.

Its potent projection and longevity, described as "beast mode" by some, make it less ideal for intimate settings like the office. However, its fresh citrus and aromatic profile lend itself well to casual wear and sports, while its intensity could be a bit much for very formal occasions. Dating is a toss-up; some find that "sex in a bottle" while others prefer something less assertive.

About

An explosive opening of sharp yuzu and lemon verbena, backed by aromatic cypress and sage, quickly announces its presence. As the citrus mellows, a heart of subtle lily-of-the-valley and warm, spicy nutmeg emerges, preventing it from leaning too feminine. The base settles into a comfortable, musky-woody embrace of vetiver and cedar, creating a long-lasting, fresh, yet grounded aroma.
