EarthyWhat does L'Eau Bleue d'Issey pour Homme smell like?
It opens bright with rosemary, orange, lime and mandarin orange. The heart adds lavender, juniper berry, pink pepper, cypress and ginger for a green, spicy edge. The base of amber, patchouli, cedar, oakmoss and sandalwood settles into a woody, earthy finish.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring, autumn and summer, with winter far behind. It leans towards daily, leisure and business wear, and voters mostly read it as masculine and classic. Terre d'Hermès (Eau de Toilette) and Isfarkand (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
