L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme by Issey Miyake is a sharp, watery citrus with a spicy, woody core. Yuzu, lemon and bergamot hit first, while tarragon, cypress and coriander give it a green, herbal bite and calone adds a cool, marine feel. The heart is surprisingly busy: blue lotus and lily-of-the-valley sit next to nutmeg, cinnamon, saffron and geranium. It dries down to vetiver, cedar, sandalwood and musk, with a faint touch of tobacco and amber. Launched in 1994 and aimed at men, it suits anyone who wants to smell fresh and tidy without fuss. Voters wear it in spring and summer, by day and at the office, and it makes a steady work scent. Most wearers vote its longevity and its sillage moderate. A 3ml decant is enough to find out whether it fits your working week.

The community verdict
On summer days, L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme opens with sharp yuzu and lemon, then settles into blue lotus, vetiver and cedar. Most find both its staying power and projection moderate. Spring and the office work too; its clean, citrus-led style suits those who like a brisk start.

The house
More from Issey Miyake
Issey Miyake founded his Japanese design house in 1970, and its perfumes carry his taste for clean lines and simple materials. The first L'Eau d'Issey, in 1992, built a scent around the idea of water, and that clear, watery feel still runs through the range. Expect yuzu, bergamot and mandarin up top, calone and lotus for the aquatic lift, then cedar, vetiver and sandalwood below. Start with L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme, bright citrus with a fresh, aromatic spice. Nuit d’Issey Parfum is the evening choice, with leather, patchouli and vanilla. L'Eau d'Issey itself stays floral and light. Jacques Cavallier is one of the perfumers whose work you will find in this line.
