Issey Miyake L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme Sport Mint is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2014, created by Alberto Morillas. L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme Sport Mint opens with Bergamot and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Geranium and Mint, and dries down to a base of White Woods and Vetiver. Issey Miyake's L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme Sport Mint carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A divisive freshie: some reckon it's an underrated summer beast, others find it a weak, uninspired minty citrus that quickly fades to a generic base. Definitely try before you buy.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its fresh and clean profile, make it suitable for casual day wear and sport. It's too light for formal events and not impactful enough for dates, but could work for an office if applied lightly.

About

It opens with a zesty, bright blast of grapefruit and bergamot, delivering an immediate energising citrus hit. The heart quickly introduces a crisp, cool mint, balanced by the green, slightly rosy nuance of geranium. As it settles, a clean, woody vetiver emerges, grounded by subtle white woods, maintaining a fresh, albeit softer, character.
