Issey Miyake Intense

A spicy-citrus burst wrapped in incense smoke and amber woods, this Intense version of the classic Issey Miyake creates a compelling contrast between fresh brightness and warm depth. It opens with juicy yuzu, bergamot, sweet orange, and mandarin orange, leading into a heart of aromatic nutmeg, exotic lotus, earthy cardamom, warm cinnamon, and saffron. The base dries down into rich incense, papyrus, glowing amber and ambergris, and the soft sweetness of benzoin—bold, confident, and perfect when you want to stand out after sunset.
