The Story

L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme Noir Absolu by Issey Miyake was launched in 2010 and is a Woody Spicy fragrance for men. Created by perfumer Olivier Cresp, this scent opens with a bright citrus-spice accord that contrasts beautifully against its warm amber and musky base notes. The composition evolves gracefully from fresh and zesty to richly woody and spicy, capturing the essence of modern elegance. The interplay between the crisp top notes and the enveloping warmth of the base creates a complex and dynamic scent experience.

Application Tips

Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points. The citrus-spice top notes are bright but fleeting, so let the musky and woody base notes take center stage after about an hour. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than across a room.
