Issey Miyake L?Eau d?Issey pour Homme Vetiver Eau de Toilette 50ml Spray

Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Vétiver Eau de Toilette 50ml is the 2023 vetiver-led flanker to the brand's iconic 1994 men's fragrance. Composed by Marie Salamagne, it pairs the original L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme's clean, watery DNA with the smoky, slightly earthy character of Haitian vetiver. Ginger, watery notes and clary sage open the fragrance with a fresh, slightly green lift; the heart leans into clary sage and woody vetiver; and the drydown is a smooth, mineral-clean composition.

About Issey Miyake

Issey Miyake was a Japanese fashion designer best known for his pioneering work with pleated fabrics, body-architecture clothing and the use of technology in textile design. Issey Miyake Parfums — produced in partnership with Shiseido's Beauté Prestige International — extends the same minimalist, water-and-light aesthetic into perfumery, with the original L'Eau d'Issey lines for women (1992) and men (1994) widely credited as the founding fragrances of the modern aquatic category.

The story behind L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Vétiver

The original L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme (1994) is one of the foundational compositions of modern men's perfumery — a clean, transparent water-and-citrus-and-wood scent that helped define the category. The Vétiver flanker takes the same architecture and reweights it around the smoky, mineral character of Haitian vetiver, giving the line a slightly more grown-up, less sport-leaning evening register. The bottle keeps the iconic L'Eau d'Issey silhouette in a deeper green-tinted glass that signals the new vetiver focus.

Who it's for

L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Vétiver suits men drawn to clean, water-led aromatics with a quiet woody depth — wearers of Guerlain Vétiver, Tom Ford Grey Vetiver, or the original L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme who want a more contemporary, slightly earthier interpretation. Versatile across spring, summer and warmer autumn days, and equally at home in office, weekend and evening contexts.

How to wear it

1. Spray onto pulse points — chest, sides of the neck, inside of the wrists — from around 15cm.
2. Two to three sprays for daytime; build up gently for longer wear.
3. Apply over an unscented body lotion to extend longevity, particularly on dry skin.
