Inventive, provocative, eccentric John Galliano didn’t... Go
Thirteen years after L’Eau d’Issey pour homme, a spicy-woody scent with an aquatic heart, designer Issey Miyake opens a new olfactory chapter for this now-classic men’s scent, with INTENSE. It was composed by Jacques Cavallier, who was also responsible for L’Eau d’Issey: ‘I’m lucky because I’m totally addicted to L’Eau d’Issey pour Homme. I designed it, I wear it (…) I knew what themes needed to be respected’ for Intense. It has been amplified, shaded in mystery, warmth and sensuality.
Eau de Toilette 2.6 and 4.2 fl. oz.
A fruitier, more colorful burst of citrus, evolving towards a spicy-astringent heart, just barely camphored with cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg and saffron. Spicy and multi-facetted, the heart gets some fresh air from the aquatic note of blue water lily. The deeper, darker, woody trail blends papyrus, frankincense and benzoin. A fragrance signed Jacques Cavallier, from Firmenich.
The prism-shaped bottle of L’Eau d’Issey pour Homme has been reinvented in a blend of dark storm-cloud gray and anthracite hues.
