The details

L’Eau d’Issy Homme is a woody Aqautic scent that was launched in 1994. IT was created by Jacques Cavallier and can be described as a rare and unusual fragrance rich in spicy, citrusy, woody, and musky notes.

Fragrance  

The top notes include yuzu, lemon, mandarin orange, bergamot, cypress, tarragon, sage, coriander, lemon verbena, and calone. The middle notes include mignonette, Ceylon cinnamon, saffron, bourbon geranium, lily-of-the-valley, blue lotus, and nutmeg. Lastly, the base note includes musk, tobacco, sandalwood, amber, cedar, and Tahitian vetiver.

Longevity of smell

The longevity was quite disappointing since most people commented that it lasts for only two to three hours before you need reapplication.

Bottle design

The bottle has a rectangular shape with a white body and a square cap. It has a spraying mechanism. The bottle is only available in 4.2 fl oz.

Value

The scent is woody and citrusy but it reminds you of the sea as well. It is a contemporary classic that is perfect for nighttime use during summers. It is versatile in notes and can be a perfect gift for older men.

Final verdict

The EDT is a citrus dominant scent that includes notes of flora, woods, and spices as well. Furthermore, it has a very unique aquatic aura to it which smells intriguing, sophisticated, and fresh.
