L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Gold Absolute

by Olivier Cresp

Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Gold Absolute is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2011, created by Olivier Cresp. L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Gold Absolute opens with Cinnamon and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Woody and Amber. Issey Miyake's L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Gold Absolute carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This Issey Miyake flanker is a divisive one. Many find it rich and intense, a superior version of the original, while others are put off by its dominant cinnamon and amber, sometimes even describing it as rancid. Definitely a 'try before you buy' situation.

Its intensity and longevity make it less suitable for the office, where it could overwhelm. The warm, spicy accords and mentions of it being a 'relax type version' for 'evening hours' lean it towards dates and more sophisticated casual or formal evening wear.

About

L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Gold Absolute kicks off with a sharp, juicy mandarin zest, quickly spiced up with a punch of cinnamon that holds court. The heart introduces a warm nutmeg, deepening the spice before settling into a rich, ambered woody base. It's a complex dance of fresh, warm, and woody notes, giving it a distinctive character.
