L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Wood&Wood

L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Wood&Wood (2019) is a woody masculine built around a stark grapefruit opening that quickly gives way to a heart of apricot, ambroxan, Virginian cedar, and sandalwood. The base anchors with woody notes, Haitian vetiver, and patchouli, creating a dry, earthy finish. The composition leans heavily woody (100%) with aromatic, citrus, warm spicy, powdery, and amber facets. This is not the aquatic freshness of the original L'Eau d'Issey; it's a deeper, more resinous take. Collectors who appreciate vetiver-forward scents like Encre Noire or Terre d'Hermès will find common ground, though the apricot adds a subtle fruity sweetness that sets it apart. It suits mature wearers and cool-weather evening wear, though it can be worn year-round in professional settings. The powdery drydown may deter those who prefer sharp, citrus-dominated fragrances. As a discontinued release, it's worth sampling before committing to a full bottle, especially if you enjoy woody chypres with a modern twist.

L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Wood&Wood（2019）以葡萄柚的鮮明前調揭開序幕，隨後轉入杏桃、降龍涎香醚、維吉尼亞雪松與檀香交織的中調。基調由木質、海地香根草與廣藿香穩固，散發乾燥泥土氣息。整體木質調佔比極高，並帶有芳香、柑橘、暖辛、粉感與琥珀面向。有別於原版的水生清新，此版本更顯深沉樹脂感。適合喜愛香根草主導香氣的行家，如Encre Noire或Terre d'Hermès的愛好者，但杏桃的微甜果香讓它與眾不同。推薦給成熟男性，適合涼爽天氣的夜晚或正式場合，粉感尾韻可能不適合偏好銳利柑橘調的人。由於已停產，建議先試香再入手。
