Description
The Power of Water on Volcanic Rock L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme Intense is a sophisticated evolution of the 1994 classic. Specifically, while the original was defined by its “fresh and transparent” nature, the Intense version adds a layer of mystery and strength. Furthermore, it is inspired by the interaction of water with the elements—specifically the steam created when a wave crashes against sun-warmed stone.
Initially, the fragrance opens with a punchy citrus trio of mandarin, yuzu, and bergamot. However, the heart quickly takes a spicy turn with nutmeg and saffron. Eventually, the dry down is where the “Intense” name is truly earned. A blend of black incense, papyrus, and amber creates a dark, smoky trail that is incredibly masculine and sophisticated. It is the perfect choice for the man who loves the Issey Miyake signature but wants something with more “bite” for evening wear.
Scent Profile: Luminous, Spicy, & Smoky * Top Note: Yuzu, Mandarin Orange, Bergamot (Zesty and bright).
- Heart Note: Nutmeg, Saffron, Lotus (Spicy and exotic).
- Base Note: Incense, Papyrus, Amber (Deep, smoky, and resinous).
Fragrance Styling Tips * Business Power: This scent is perfect for the boardroom. Its incense base gives an air of authority, while the citrus top keeps it professional.
- Cool Weather Wear: The warmth of the nutmeg and saffron makes this 125ml Intense version shine in autumn and winter.
Why Choose the 125ml Intense? The 125ml size offers the best value for a fragrance that many men use as their “signature” night-out scent. Given the higher concentration of spicy and smoky notes compared to the original EDT, this bottle will last significantly longer on the skin.
