Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Intense Eau de Toilette - 75ml

It is a woody fragrance for men, specifically an intense edition of the original L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme, featuring a blend of citrus, spicy, and deep woody notes with a darker, smoky edge.

While it retains much of the original's DNA, the Intense version adds more strength and a darker edge, primarily through the inclusion of Incense and Papyrus in the base notes, giving it a more unique and enveloping character and greater depth.

The top notes include Yuzu, Bergamot, Sweet Orange, and Mandarin Orange. The heart features Nutmeg, Lotus, Cinnamon, Cardamom, and Saffron. The base notes are Incense, Papyrus, Ambergris, Benzoin, and Amber.

Due to its intense and warm profile, it's particularly well-suited for evening wear, cooler weather, or special occasions. For daily office wear, a lighter application or a different fragrance might be preferred to avoid being overpowering.

As an Eau de Toilette with an 'Intense' formulation, it offers good longevity, typically lasting several hours on the skin. Individual results may vary based on skin type, climate, and application method.

L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Intense was created by renowned perfumer Jacques Cavallier and was launched in 2007 by Issey Miyake.

`Eau de Toilette` (EDT) indicates a fragrance concentration typically containing 5-15% pure perfume oil. For this 'Intense' EDT, it signifies a noticeable and lasting scent that offers good projection and longevity, making it a popular choice for active wear.

While L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Intense has a complex and distinct profile, layering is a personal choice. If attempting to layer, choose complementary scents with simpler profiles to avoid an overpowering or clashing blend. It is often enjoyed best on its own due to its intricate composition.

Ensure you are applying to pulse points (wrists, neck). Hydrated skin tends to hold fragrance better; consider applying an unscented moisturizer before your fragrance. Avoid rubbing your wrists together after application, as this can break down scent molecules.

Apply fewer sprays or try spraying once into the air and walking through the mist for a lighter, more diffused application. Consider applying only to areas that are not directly under your nose, such as the back of the neck.

Check for any blockages in the nozzle opening. Gently clean the nozzle with a damp cloth if any residue is visible. Ensure the bottle is held upright during application for proper function. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Fragrances react with individual skin chemistry, which can subtly alter how the scent develops. Allow the scent to fully dry down for all notes to emerge. Factors like diet, medication, and hormones can also influence how a fragrance interacts with your skin.

Ensure the atomizer cap is tightly secured after each use. Always store the bottle upright. If the bottle or cap is visibly damaged, contact customer support or the retailer for assistance.
