What does L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Or Absolu smell like?

The top is mandarin orange, a bright citrus opening. In the heart, cinnamon and nutmeg bring spice, while cashmeran and amber in the base give it a woody, resinous warmth. Floral, fruity and oriental touches sit alongside the fresh and citrus accords.

Its longevity is rated weak, though the number of votes is small, so that picture is tentative. It is positioned as a men's fragrance. Serge Lutens Rousse and Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Noir Absolu have a close profile.
