L'Eau Bleue d'Issey Pour Homme for men

Scent story

To me this is the original's cooler, woodier brother. Rosemary and lime and lemongrass snap green at the top, and then it goes deep into the forest — cypress, juniper berries, ginger, lavender, pink pepper, star anise, even a strange green flash of nasturtium. It smells like hiking in the Western Ghats after rain, everything crushed and fragrant underfoot. Atlas cedar, patchouli, oakmoss, sandalwood and amber make the base dark and mossy, like the floor of that forest. It's aromatic and woody where the original was aquatic and bright. A connoisseur's Issey. Beginner-friendly.
