Heated Liquid For Men

Heated Liquid chases Issey Miyake's Hot Water, the warm spicy-aromatic men's oriental. It opens with a green, bracing pairing of wormwood and red basil, then a hot heart of paprika and patchouli brings the signature spiced warmth - the 'hot accord' the original is named for. The base settles into balsamic styrax and benzoin for a sweet, resinous finish. As a budget interpretation it traces the fiery, slightly medicinal spice profile faithfully, but renders it flatter and less layered than the designer, with the heat reading more one-dimensional and the projection and longevity falling short. A characterful, warming cold-weather scent for evenings and casual wear for anyone who likes a spicy, resinous masculine.
