The story behind the bottle.
L’Eau d’Issey pour Homme Edition Bois, launched in 2010 by Issey Miyake and crafted by Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, is a Woody Aquatic fragrance that captures the essence of Japanese minimalism. The composition opens with bright citrus notes like yuzu and lemon, which cut through an aromatic heart of sage and cypress. As it settles into its woody base, the scent reveals layers of nutmeg, saffron, and sandalwood, creating a harmonious blend of freshness and warmth.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points in the morning for a scent that evolves throughout the day. The bright citrus notes are prominent initially but gradually give way to the warm woody base as the day progresses.
