Descripción
L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Intense by Issey Miyake is a woody fragrance for men. Launched in 2007, this composition was created by perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud. Its top notes of yuzu, bergamot, sweet orange and mandarin give way to a heart where nutmeg, lotus flower, cardamom, cinnamon and saffron intertwine. The base reveals an evocative depth thanks to incense, Egyptian papyrus, ambergris, benzoin and amber.

Excellent perfume, very fresh and long-lasting, ideal for everyday wear. It’s not for teenagers; it’s for those over 25. The dry-down is delicious; it’s one of my favourites. I would buy it a thousand times. Good price: 125ml cost me $40.
After a few days on the skin, I’ll just say: Mr Perfume. I knew the classic and this ‘Intense’ version reminds me of it a lot, but here the incense and smoky notes predominate. It’s spicy, earthy, and woody. I love how it sits on my skin. I see it for formal occasions, shirt and tie, or for older people (it’s not one of those sweet aromas of today). I haven’t smelled anything like it; the longevity is good, though the sillage isn’t so much. Acceptable for the current market. My other perfumes are similar. I give a positive vote to Issey Miyake. Would I buy it again? Definitely yes. Brilliant.
Not very intense… the performance is just about right.
I’d been waiting to try it; it’s been on the market for years. Honestly, it left me indifferent: neither do I like it nor dislike it. It’s atypical, avant-garde, and doesn’t remind me of anything, though it smells a bit old-school.
Beautiful perfume, based on the classic L’Eau d’Issey, it adds measured incense and a light amber that gives it a soft sweetness. It’s fresh, elegant, and versatile, almost suitable for all year round. I wouldn’t use it for sport or in great heat. The downside is the longevity: with 10 sprays it lasts 4 or 5 hours, with the last ones clinging to the skin, but given the price, I’m not sure if that’s a major issue. Worth it.
A darker version of the classic L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme. It respects the original DNA but the yuzu is more muted, lacking brightness or harshness. Then comes the nutmeg and incense, which last throughout the life of the perfume. If you hate incense, better to stay away. It’s yuzu plus incense, elegant and mysterious, more suited for formal wear than casual. One of the best from the Issey universe. Ideal for cloudy or rainy days.
Sobriquet and masculine fragrance, good performance and worth the money. I tried it as an alternative to Acqua di Gio and it surpassed it. It’s citrusy with a smoky touch. If you apply only a few sprays, it might be short-lived, but with 7 or 8, it performs wonderfully. The only drawback is that the opening is strong and heavy for me; sometimes it gives me a headache. I wore it with Loewe 7 Anónimo and it was unique, receiving many compliments.
Beware of the first spray: it explodes with citrus and bitter notes of mandarin, yuzu, and coriander, before transforming into leather, incense, and a sweet animalic touch with cinnamon. It smells of elegance and presence, perfect with a leather jacket. It’s no longer sold in Spain; I picked it up on the secondary market for €25 for 125ml, quite a bargain. Versatile, it doesn’t bother anyone, and the longevity is average, which is unusual these days.
Ideal for everyday wear; I recommend it without hesitation.
Issey Miyake, always hits the spot.
Unique, wonderful, versatile. Some say it doesn’t last long. In my case, it easily lasts around 6 hours.
I adore this perfume. There is no other like it. It’s a mentholated, spiced incense that subtly sweetens. It has an aquatic air of a pond, with lotus flowers floating on a dark day under a grey sky. This oriental incense, which resembles tea, with yuzu peels, seasoned with saffron, nutmeg, and a cinnamon that balances everything. In its dry-down, it becomes ambered ash. I understand there may be people who won’t accept it, as although it’s designer, its authenticity could make it considered niche.
I’ve been an Issey Miyake user since the first one; this smells very similar to me but with a smokier style. Fresh herbal that can be used for elegant daytime occasions; I don’t see it as much for night. I rate it as a favourite. Good taste, and anyone who declares themselves masculine and confident will love it. I bought it on Amazon for 760 pesos. A gift.
L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme Intense is citrusy, spicy, and woody. The opening is citrusy, sharing similarities with the original and classic L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme, but changes after a few minutes by increasing spices such as nutmeg, cardamom, and saffron. What I like most is that it remains balanced between citrus and spices, very in the classic style but with the peculiar Issey Miyake touch. In the dry-down phase, it leaves a base of incense, wood, and amber that I’ve loved. As the name suggests, it’s more intense, especially in spices, but the citrus notes remain present, making it very versatile, almost for any season, work, casual outings, or outdoors. Perhaps it’s more to the taste of mature people than young ones due to the classic structure, but that’s subjective. Its longevity is very good, between 9 and 10 hours, with good sillage in the first hours. Sometimes I think Bleu de Chanel was inspired by fragrances like this, due to the citrus, woody, incense, and spicy structure. If you find it, don’t hesitate to try it; I’ve loved it.
I’ve used the Issey Miyake Pour Homme until I finished it; does anyone know if it’s worth it? Can it be worn during the day in heat? Where I live, the regular temperature is 33 degrees.
Smells like burnt electrical panel in a dusty place, impossible for me.
A pleasant surprise. It has similarities to L’Eau d’Issey, but there’s a fantastic twist: instead of being sweeter like most flankers today, this one is more bitter (or sour) than the original. It’s not very current either; it’s over 15 years old, which is a lot for a flanker, so I hope it doesn’t get discontinued. I couldn’t find anything similar to it, neither niche nor designer, so perhaps its originality makes it ‘almost niche’. On the opening, I don’t feel the sweet orange; it’s like a strong grapefruit thanks to the yuzu and bergamot. Then the spices come through strongly, along with the incense that gives it a serious character. I don’t know how the Egyptian papyrus smells, but it seems like old books to me (strangely, it’s the only wood in the olfactory pyramid). I detect amber, but due to the incense, it’s more resinous than ambered. It’s quite complex without going to extremes. I don’t think it’s very versatile or as formal; it’s mature, but with a suit it might seem excessively mature rather than elegant. I think it suits a black or grey shirt with jeans, a white shirt with black trousers, or a jumper if it’s cool. I see it in grey tones. I agree it’s a ten for rainy days; autumn is the best option as long as it’s not cold, because it’s fresh but for when the sun is hidden. Longevity is good, reaching 5 hours, with a bit more presence close to the skin, and projection is moderate. It’s available at a good price, although I don’t see promotions anymore; it still costs less than the classic, almost half. Totally recommended, but not as a signature scent. It’s serious, mature, masculine, and different from everything today.
I love it. A masculine, mature aroma with that old-school perfumery vibe from the 70s and 80s, featuring its fougères and cypresses for gentlemen who didn’t want to smell like caramel or cinnamon buns. Here, there’s no typical bitter citrus and yuzu-heavy Miyake that smells of plaster. This one hides it, blending it with sweeter citrus notes like tangerine, nutmeg, and a powerful base of incense and Egyptian papyrus that gives it an intense herbal character (it truly lives up to ‘Intense’), very green, sigma-macho, and dark, very in the old style. It lasts quite a while by current standards, around 5-6 hours, with a first hour that leaves trails wherever you go. If you can find a 75ml bottle for 25-30 euros or the 125ml for under 40-45, don’t think twice.
They say it’s a mature scent, and I agree. Mature doesn’t mean old or pretentious, just as young isn’t synonymous with virtue. L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme Intense doesn’t go around looking for compliments, though it has everything to earn them if the wearer knows how to carry it. The yuzu is expertly crafted, giving a bitter edge to fresher citrus notes. There’s a green part with incense and spices that rounds off the composition with sobriety without falling into solemnity. I hold Jacques Cavallier in high regard; so far, I haven’t encountered any bad fragrances from him. What bothers me is that, despite having good projection and longevity, the last time I tried it, it felt more moderate than before. I see this is a constant in many Western houses, and it bothers me. Anyway, a very good proposal for romantic dates or casual events, at a decent price with good performance.
A fragrance in which I was indecisive for weeks due to my lack of habit with smoky aromas. After weeks of use, I say it’s incredible. Its opening isn’t the most pleasant for a beginner’s nose, but not so challenging as to repel it. I consider that its opening is exactly what makes it unique. It retains much of the classic aroma, adding the incense which, in my opinion, makes it more mature. It’s perfect for formal situations, though it also goes great with business casual. Its longevity is acceptable, although to be called ‘intense’ it could have been better (the original lasts longer on me). However, it gets through the full workday in spring and summer. I haven’t tried it in autumn and winter yet; I can’t see why I couldn’t use it in autumn, especially at the start. For winter, I’d probably look for another option.
An absolute gem. The opening is slightly complex and not entirely pleasant, but by the 10-minute mark, the magic happens. It reminds me of Versace Man Eau Fraîche, yet less citrusy, with that smoky touch that adds elegance. Sillage and projection are moderate, and the price is interesting… though in Argentina, prices are never good.
Worth it; it’s a classic scent but you must let it settle for about 15 minutes to discover its essence. Elegant aroma, on the same line as the classic but a bit heavier, giving that elegant touch. I recommend it.
Spectacular, good value; I think it’s a good signature fragrance for any occasion and climate, a scent for formal wear or with a shirt; the same bottle gives the impression of a black suit. Totally recommended, a quality scent.
I bought it over three months ago; I’d seen reviews saying it worked well in heat, but the reality is different. I stopped using it for a couple of months, and with the temperature drop due to Hurricane Chris in northern Mexico, I gave it a try on a fresh, rainy day and loved it; it has a spectacular shine in that weather, 100% recommended 😁.
What a horrible perfume! When I first used it, I didn’t like it much, but I stuck with that smoky incense note. I put it away and a few weeks later I used it again and it was worse 😞, with a projection like rotten orange 😑. I totally regret buying it.
Excellent perfume, for all four seasons, incredible scent; Issey Miyake fails not in the slightest.
With both in hand, I see this Intense as the bridge between the classic Eau d’Issey and the subsequent Nuit d’Issey. It has the dry freshness of the Yuzu and citrus mixed with woods, highlighting the incense and rosemary, which is also in Bleue d’Issey and Bleue Fraiche. It’s a good signature fragrance, versatile and distinguished; it could be an alternative to the discontinued Loewe 7 Natural/Sport or Adg Profumo, preferring these over the Intense. I recommend it; besides, it’s good value. Issey Miyake never disappoints…
As soon as I opened it and sprayed it, I loved it. I read it’s for mature men, and while I agree, it’s not outdated. It smells great, lasts well, and gives a sense of cleanliness and tidiness. I feel it’s versatile for any time of day and season. I’m not sure exactly what the Yuzu smells like, but I notice a soft citrus, nothing sharp, slightly sweet, with something floral and smoky woody at the base. Nothing stands out too much; it’s a soft, pleasant balance.
A beautiful fragrance that follows the line of its mother, the classic… At first they don’t resemble each other much, but as it dries down it’s gorgeous… L’Eau d’Issey never goes out of fashion, it’s timeless; the Yuzu gives it that incredible bitter touch.
Smells very much like the classic L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme, with that bitter Yuzu citrus note, but what sets it apart is the touch of wood and incense.
Addictive perfume; the opening makes you want to spray more and more. Citrusy and woody, but without that strong wood typical of others. Longevity and projection are average, about 5-6 hours, with moderate sillage. It is very versatile, suitable for any climate, but I feel it performs better at night or in climates that aren’t too hot. It cost me $35 for 125ml; considering the quality, it is much more recommended and doesn’t hurt to reapply. Aroma: 9, Longevity and sillage: 7.5, Versatility: 9.
The problem with this Intense is that although it is cheap online, it is difficult to test in physical stores; hence the disparity in reviews and blind purchases. Although it was on my radar, I didn’t buy it until I tested it in a local drugstore and loved it (my girlfriend gifted it to me). How does it smell? It opens citrusy, less bitter than the original (the yuzu remains but without sharp edges) and becomes spiced with nutmeg, smoky gradually with the incense. Very well balanced: neither citrus nor incense are protagonists, but a soft blend with papyrus and a spark of amber at the end, addictive. Far from the darkness of Nuit or the bitterness of Fraichè and Bleau. The incense is very soft, not ecclesiastical. It gives an elegant and enveloping touch, making it versatile. It lasts well (about 7 hours with average projection, more than the original). Versatile for any climate, better at night in summer and during the day in cold weather. Ideal for lazy days when you don’t know what to wear or as a work signature. Less for very young people; it is timeless. Overall, I liked it and enjoy it. Highly advisable for price and quality, though testing first is better. Salu2.
I don’t know if it’s my pH, but it doesn’t cling to my skin. I applied it five times on my arm during a test at Falabella, and by the first hour, it barely smelled of anything. It was $120, around 600,000 Colombian pesos. It would be a rip-off to pay that much and have it last so little. Unlike the original Issey, this lasts all day for me, and women love it; it is the most complimentary I’ve had of any citrus scent.
Super masculine and mature fragrance. Many say it’s not outdated, but I, at 29, feel it is classic. It reminds me a bit of Fahrenheit in the opening; I think it has unlisted violets. Nevertheless, it is incredible and denotes elegance; it’s not for the gym. I see it as good for day and night. The opening is intense, then it relaxes, revealing slightly sweet notes which I suppose is the saffron. By simple sniffing, I doubt it reaches 7 hours, but it is long-lasting. Perfect if you are Godin; it looks great in the office and, given the quality of ingredients, it smells like an expensive perfume for little money.
Cavallier is a genius. Perhaps even better than his masterpiece, L’Eau d’Issey. It deserves the name ‘Intense’. A few extra sprays make it intrusive, but the right measure creates a warm, sensual cloud. Cavallier inverts the pyramid of the original: where citrus once dominated with spices secondary, here spices, woods, and incense predominate, with citrus only present in a fleeting opening. Totally recommended. In Peru, it can be found in department stores at a good price. It seems undervalued. Given its characteristics, it is better for night wear in cold climates (or cool summer evenings if dosing carefully), and due to its density, suitable for bars, dates, or polluted environments. Ideal from age 25.
A good flanker. It differs significantly from Por Homme yet retains just enough of the DNA; here the maturity is much more evident with that incense note that tames the citrus and maintains a balanced equilibrium. Not for the young, but not a perfume for the elderly either. It conveys security and experience.
Soft and rich aroma; you can detect the amber. If it lasted a little longer, it would be spectacular, but it is definitely worth it.
This was my second Issey Miyake purchase after the classic; I tested this Intense blind. What a pleasant surprise! Rich, masculine aroma, different from the original but with that DNA lingering deep in the background. Performance is 6 to 7 hours, and if applied to clothes, it lasts almost all day. I don’t have a signature scent, but this comes close; I use it two or three times a week. It suits casual to formal wear, ideal for men over 30, though it could work well for younger people at events. To each their own, but highly recommended.
The scent is rich, but it fades in under 15 minutes. It’s not expensive, but with so much competition in the market, it’s not worth buying.
Fresh and dark in equal measure, mature and serious yet incredibly versatile. Another gem from Issey Miyake that smells distinctly like Issey Miyake; hard to explain but impossible to ignore. Sillage, scent, and longevity: all outstanding. An infallible option for serious nights or days, and also for stepping out fresh without falling into overly clean perfumes.
