Where to buy
L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme seems to carry within it the whole rich heritage of the Issey Miyake house. Thoroughly universal, it draws its origins from the meeting of East and West. It also takes inspiration from one of the most important ingredients for man: water. Lastly, it cultivates the same values of simplicity, naturalness and evidence found in every Issey Miyake creation. Today, it returns in a more oriental journey. Focus on L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Or Encens.
The noble meeting of water, gold and incense
For this fragrance, Issey Miyake chose to highlight three highly noble and important raw materials. The first is water. Essential to human survival, it is also what covers most of our planet. It can be the water of oceans, of glaciers, of a river or a lake. With it, Issey Miyake leaves the imagination of each person free to roam. Moreover, water is an ingredient synonymous with calm. Here, it brings a certain serenity. For greater refinement, it is paired with gold. After all, is that not the material that fascinates men the most? Gold is the embodiment of a fantasy. It immediately gives this fragrance a highly luxurious side. However, the main ingredient of this new formula is none other than incense. It is a resin from a tree grown in Yemen, Somalia or India. Incense thus carries us, with a single breath, to distant lands. Moreover, it is also charged with a certain spirituality. Indeed, it has been linked to religion since Ancient Greece. This prestigious product was also considered more precious than gold in the Middle Ages. As one can see, L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Or Encens is a fragrance charged with spirituality and refinement. It brings man back to essential values.
The oriental fragrance of L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Or Encens
In terms of fragrance, this translates into a highly oriental scent. Issey Miyake describes its juice as a reflection of the meeting between incandescent water and molten rock that produces the most beautiful and mysterious golden smoke. This composition was created by perfumer Christophe Raynaud. L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Or Encens carries an undeniable share of nobility paired with a more nostalgic scent. Incense serves as the guiding thread of this fragrance. It is nonetheless enhanced by other ingredients such as spices, rose essence or woody notes. L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Or Encens notably closes with a trio of cedar, sandalwood and vetiver. The result is a fragrance with an enveloping, luminous and warm scent. On the aesthetic side, L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Or Encens comes in the emblematic bottle of this collection. This thick glass block with sharp edges appears in a black shade simply embellished with the name of this new fragrance in gold lettering.
