L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Eau de Toilette l'Ete

By the editors · 2 min readYuzu and mandarin open in a cold-citrus wash, peel-bright rather than juicy, with the yuzu's faintly grapefruit edge keeping the brightness from going syrupy. Sea water moves in quickly behind the citrus — that calone-driven impression of salt on skin and wet rocks — joined by sage and cardamom for an aromatic-spiced lift that pushes the composition out of pure aquatic territory. The whole top tier is engineered to feel like air conditioning. The dry-down rests on vetiver's dry grass and amber's quiet warmth, neither pushed forward, both content to fade into the afternoon. It runs as a cool, marine flanker that keeps the original's spice DNA intact under the salt water.
