L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Intense, launched in 2007 and crafted by Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, is a Woody fragrance that embodies the innovative spirit of Issey Miyake. The composition opens with bright citrus notes like yuzu and bergamot, creating an immediate sense of freshness and clarity. These top notes quickly give way to a heart filled with warm spices such as nutmeg, cardamom, and cinnamon, which add complexity and depth. At the base, ambergris, benzoin, and incense create a smoky, balsamic warmth that lingers on the skin.

Application Tips
For the best experience with L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Intense, apply it directly to pulse points like your wrists and neck. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, so a heavier application allows the warm spice and woody base to come through more prominently over time.
