Our impression of Issey Miyake is an intricate, majestical fragrance, nothing short of delightful. It starts with a rather obscure mix of scents: a summery & citrusy mix of yuzu, lemon, bergamot, mandarin orange and lemon verbena, alongside a rather elegant and aromatic fusion of cypress, coriander, tarragon and sage notes. This is followed by extremely subtle yet mesmerizing tones of blue lotus, lily-of-the-valley, and saffron, while simultaneously exuding a more musk filled scent of Ceylon cinnamon, bourbon geranium and mignonette. This unorthodox fragrance then closes off on a stronger note, giving off a scent composed of more masculine tobacco, musk, cedar and sandalwood notes. This out of the box fragrance is tailored for men who want to stand out from the rest.
