Radiant Woody Citrus Depth: Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Wood & Wood Eau de Parfum Intense
Embrace grounded elegance with the luminous fusion of sparkling grapefruit and resinous elemi intertwined with creamy sandalwood and dry cedar, evoking natural strength, sophistication, and modern warmth in Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Wood & Wood, launched in 2019 as a bold woody flanker to the iconic L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme line (men's, woody aromatic, refined appeal)—expertly crafted to celebrate the essence of precious and modern woods, blending citrus brightness, spicy cardamom kick, fruity apricot nuance, and ultra-woody ambroxan-cedar depth amplified by Haitian vetiver and patchouli earthiness. Widely regarded as a clean, woody-citrus with prominent grapefruit freshness, sandalwood creaminess, and cedar-vetiver dryness, it's often hailed as a luxurious, versatile sleeper hit—balancing vibrant citrus-spicy lift with ambroxan-woody heart and velvety earthy drydown, addictive refinement, and strong performance in a contemporary, wood-centric composition.
This captivating elixir opens with a bright, zesty burst of grapefruit, elemi, and cardamom for citrusy-resinous energy that's sparkling and invigorating, then evolves into a heart of apricot, ambroxan, Virginian cedar, and sandalwood for fruity-woody layers that feel creamy and captivating, finally drying down to a base of woody notes, Haitian vetiver, and patchouli for earthy, dry warmth with luxurious depth and lingering grounding trail. It’s citrusy yet woody, fresh yet creamy, radiant yet earthy—like grapefruit zest melting over elemi resin and apricot sweetness, anchored in sandalwood-cedar-vetiver woods that lingers as a confident, wood & wood aura of natural sophistication.
It bursts with grapefruit-elemi-cardamom—zesty, resinous, and strikingly fresh with citrus-spicy vibrancy. The heart unveils apricot and ambroxan with cedar-sandalwood, creating a fruity-woody core that’s balanced, creamy, and intriguing. It dries down to a luxurious, lingering Haitian vetiver-patchouli embrace—earthy, dry, and subtly grounding—forming an enduring, intriguing trail that’s masculine-leaning, versatile, and endlessly alluring.

Frequently celebrated as a sleeper standout in the Issey Miyake men's lineup—grapefruit-citrus dominant, sandalwood-creamy iconic, cedar-vetiver woody grounding, with a distinctly masculine yet universal vibe—Wood & Wood is described as uniting a sparkling grapefruit-cardamom opening, ambroxan-apricot-woody heart, and dry vetiver-patchouli base (often praised as a "woody citrus glow," fresh yet addictive, with citrus lift and earthy depth). It’s a versatile all-season star (ideal for spring/fall daytime sophistication or year-round refined wear, perfect from office to casual moments) that consistently draws compliments for its clean projection, elegant sillage, and irresistible charismatic allure.
Performance excels as an Eau de Parfum Intense: 8-12+ hours longevity (evolves beautifully from citrus burst to woody-earthy finish), moderate to strong projection (noticeable yet controlled trail), and impressive staying power for its category—transitioning seamlessly into a lingering refined embrace. Fragrance lovers rave about its premium-quality composition, masterful grapefruit-woody synergy, and effortless luxury, though a few note its prominent dry woods—perfect for anyone seeking elevated masculine scents with citrus freshness and woody refinement.
