The Story
L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Intense is a deeper, more powerful take on the classic. It opens with a burst of fresh yuzu and bergamot, then settles into a spicy heart of nutmeg and saffron. The base is a warm, woody blend of cedar and vetiver. This is a confident, long-lasting scent that works well for cooler weather.
