Issey Miyake L’Eau Super Majeure d’Issey Intense is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2018, created by Aurélien Guichard and Fabrice Pellegrin. L’Eau Super Majeure d’Issey Intense opens with Citrus, Rosemary, and Clary Sage, settles into a heart of Salt, Sea Water, Woody Notes, and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Smoke, Leather, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Issey Miyake's L’Eau Super Majeure d’Issey Intense carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

Salty marine air collides with dark woods and smoky undertones for a bold, contemporary masculine signature. Assertive yet balanced, it's an adventurous step up from the classic aquatic genre.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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 Fall
Also Works:
Summer Winter

The marine and salty freshness fits spring and summer, while smoky, woody, and amber facets give it enough weight for cool fall and mild winter days. Its depth and warmth make it less ideal for peak heat.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its modern marine-woody style is versatile for office and casual use, with aromatic freshness and moderate projection making it inviting for dates but too complex and strong for sporty or highly formal settings.

About

L’Eau Super Majeure d’Issey Eau de Toilette Intense opens with a rush of citrus, aromatic clary sage, and rosemary, soon swept by marine waves and a bracing touch of black salt. The heart is anchored by cashmeran and patchouli, lending smooth woody depth, before a base of smoke, amberwood, leather, and subtle vanilla emerges. Salty and fresh, yet shadowed by smoky woods and amber, it projects a sense of windswept coast and rugged masculinity, perfectly bridging aquatic brightness and autumnal darkness.
