Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Men Review - A Timeless Aftershave Fragrance
Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Men is a masculine aftershave fragrance from the Japanese house of Issey Miyake. It's considered by many to be one of the most classic men's scents ever created; like an old friend, it never goes out of style. While its longevity may not match that of some modern colognes, it remains a favorite among many connoisseurs.
What Does Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Men Smell Like
When you first spray Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Men, you're greeted with notes of Yuzu, Lemon, Bergamot, Mandarin Orange, Lemon Verbena, Cypress, Calone, Coriander, Tarragon, and Sage; middle notes are Blue Lotus, Nutmeg, Lily-of-the-Valley, Saffron, Ceylon Cinnamon, Bourbon Geranium, and Mignonette; base notes are Tahitian Vetiver, Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, Tobacco, and Amber.
As for the composition itself, it is composed of 70% aromatic alcohol (Yuzu, Bergamot) and 30% essential oils. Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Men opens with a powerful blast of citrusy Yuzu followed by a burst of refreshing lemon juice. The heart of the fragrance contains bright notes of coriander seeds and yuzu leaves. These are joined by a warm blend of nutmeg and cypress. In the base, we find ambergris and musk which combine to give the scent its rich aroma.
This unique combination of ingredients results in an unforgettable fragrance with both strength and elegance; one that is suitable for all occasions. When applied to the skin, Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Men produces a pleasant, clean feeling reminiscent of fresh linen sheets or crisp spring mornings. As time passes, the fragrance begins to soften slightly, taking on a more woody note while remaining true to its original character.
Projection
Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Men has an average projection. It lasts about 4 hours on the skin before beginning to fade. It has decent staying power but doesn't last as long as some other colognes might. It has pretty good coverage for an aftershave though.
With proper application and use, you should be able to achieve a nice amount of smell without having to reapply often throughout the day.
For those who are constantly sweating or have sensitive skin, they should be aware that this product may not provide sufficient protection against odor; however, it is still a wonderful choice if you like subtlety rather than overpowering scents.
Overall, it's a fantastic choice for anyone looking to freshen up their underarms after a shower or bathe. This fragrance works equally well as an everyday scent as it does when attending special events or going out on dates.
One thing to keep in mind when applying this scent is that it should be used sparingly—don't apply too much at once, as doing so could result in an unpleasant overdose of citrusy zest.
Instead, spread it evenly across the area you wish to treat with this cologne, allowing the fragrance to soak into the pores; then let it dry naturally. Then, reapply another coat to ensure that every inch of your body is covered by this delightful fragrance.
When To Wear Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Men
This fragrance can be worn anytime, anywhere. However, it is particularly good at providing a light fragrance for those times when you don't want anything too heavy or intense. It's perfect for daytime use, whether in the office or out on the town.
It pairs especially well with simple outfits like jeans and t-shirts—you won't be overwhelmed by the intensity of the scent, but you'll still feel comfortable wearing it.
Since it is such a mild fragrance, it can be worn in the summer as well; just remember to apply lightly at first until you get used to how strong it really is.
If you're planning on meeting someone for drinks later in the evening, this fragrance will work perfectly to set the mood right away. It's a timeless scent that will always be appropriate no matter what time of year it is or where you happen to be going. If you're looking for something versatile and dependable that won't date your wardrobe, then this fragrance is a safe bet.
