L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Noir Ambré

Thus, even though L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme made its appearance in 1994, it remains a fragrance deeply rooted in the trends of our era. Also, in keeping with its creation, Issey Miyake presents its new successor named L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Noir Ambré. This new fragrance further accentuates the oriental side of its predecessor.

The new bottle designed by Issey Miyake

Before even dwelling on its scent, let us start by taking a closer look at the design of the new Eau d'Issey pour Homme Noir Ambré. Naturally, its bottle is reminiscent of its predecessor's appearance. It has the same flat shape and very contemporary silhouette. This is enhanced by pure, clean lines with sharp, well-defined angles. Thus, L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Noir Ambré appears to rest on a solid base that only reinforces its masculinity. However, this case has just enough roundness to sit comfortably in the palm of the hand. Once coated in a clear lacquer, it is now completely transparent at its base, revealing the amber color of its juice, reminiscent of molten gold. In other words, it is a bit as if L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Noir Ambré contained water infused with gold. Likewise, its matte black cap combines leather and wood, two materials very present in this fragrance.

The very virile scent of L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Noir Ambré

As for the scent of L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Noir Ambré, the least one can say is that Issey Miyake has clearly played the masculinity card. This is a highly innovative fragrance that plays on contrasts. It draws on the power of water while adding a more pronounced structure. L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Noir Ambré opens with a blend of spices. Its opening is strikingly bold, combining saffron, cinnamon, nutmeg, and coriander. These ingredients are both very forthright yet not lacking in elegance. Moreover, saffron is one of the most expensive and prestigious raw materials in the world. Then, L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Noir Ambré continues with a more woody and leathery heart. This heart contains Atlas cedar, papyrus, Haitian vetiver, and leather. It all ends with a warmer, more comforting breath of amber, vanilla, and tonka bean. Finally, it should be noted that L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Noir Ambré was created by one of the greatest perfumers of our time. It is the work of the talented Christophe Raynaud.
