L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Intense, from Issey Miyake, opens bright, with bergamot, sweet orange, mandarin and yuzu layered into one citrus burst. Nutmeg, cardamom and cinnamon bring warmth through the heart, with lotus and saffron adding a cool, slightly floral lift. The base turns smoky and balsamic: incense, papyrus, ambergris, benzoin and amber, giving it a dry, grounded finish. Released in 2007, it is worn mostly by men who like citrus pushed somewhere darker. Voters reach for it in autumn, favouring the hours after sunset, though its structure works for the office too. On longevity, the vote leans long-lasting. Most wearers, though, call the sillage moderate to strong. A 10ml decant carries it through several weeks of autumn evenings.

The community verdict
Incense gives L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Intense its smoky finish after an orange and bergamot opening and a spiced heart of nutmeg and cardamom. Staying power divides between long-lasting and moderate, while most find its projection moderate. It suits autumn nights and spring evenings.

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.
