L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme is a fresh, woody, aquatic scent created for Men in 1994 by perfumer Jacques Cavallier.
Review
This scent is light and fresh. Water Lily lends a subtle aquatic essence to the blend of Yuzu, Lemon, and Tangerine. Over time, things mellow and a subtle sharpness grabs your attention with a blend of soft woods. It smells like a Man in Summertime. He’s spent his afternoon at the beach, and the ocean has blended with his sweat and sunkissed skin to create an intoxicating aroma. It is a scent that has both a casual and elegant appeal to it, making it perfect for everything from the office, to errands, to date night, to weddings. While it is a great, fresh, Summer scent, it can be worn in any season or weather. It has been compared to Acqua di Gio from Giorgio Armani.
Inspiration
L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme was inspired by the strength of water; the source of life.
Notes
This scent opens with a burst of sparkling citrus notes of Yuzu, Lemon, and Tangerine. Water Lily adds an aquatic element to the heart of this scent, while a hint of Nutmeg adds a gentle layer of spice that keeps things zesty. Vetiver brings a gentle earthy element that paves the way for the warmth of Sandalwood and an Amber Accord, which also adds a faint hint of sharpness to make things pop during the dry down.
