L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Intense

Issey Miyake · Eau de Toilette (EDT) · 2007

≈ $55 · 100ml · approx. retail

A warmer, spicier flanker to the 1994 original, opening on a bright citrus burst before moving into a spiced heart of nutmeg, cardamom and cinnamon. The base of incense, papyrus and amber gives it a deeper, more resinous woody character than the standard pour Homme.
