Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme is a spicy woody aquatic fragrance for men. It launched in 1994 and is still in the line today. This is the 125ml bottle.
How It Smells
The opening is yuzu alongside cypress and coriander, which is the brightest part of the wear and fades within the first half hour. Underneath, blue water lily alongside nutmeg and saffron carries the middle, and this is what most people will actually smell on you. What remains at the end of the day is tobacco alongside amber and musk, closer to the skin and warmer than the opening suggested.

Why You'll Love It
- Lasts through an evening out. Good, around 6 to 8 hours.
- Safe to wear in a shared office. Its moderate sillage reaches the person next to you rather than the whole room.
- Comfortable in Philippine heat. The Eau de Toilette strength keeps it light instead of turning heavy through the day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme original?
Yes. Perfume Philippines has sold 100% original, imported fragrances online since 2012. Every bottle is fresh stock, and cash on delivery is available nationwide.
How long does Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme last?
Good, around 6 to 8 hours. Spraying onto moisturised skin, and onto your shirt collar as well as your wrists, helps it hold longer in humid weather.
Is L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme good for the office?
Yes. Sillage sits at moderate, an arm's length, so it stays within conversational distance instead of filling a shared room. One to three sprays is plenty in an air-conditioned space.
How does L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme compare to Davidoff Cool Water?
Davidoff Cool Water is the closest comparison, the other benchmark fresh men's classic from the nineties. L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme is built on a tobacco base with yuzu up top, so judge them on that: if you want the tobacco direction, this is the one. Both are stocked here when available, so you can compare prices directly.
