“L'Eau d'Issey stepped into a dark alley and found itself.”
The take
What works
- ●Strikingly dark contrast to the original L'Eau d'Issey — black-pepper-cedar bruiser
- ●Excellent night-fragrance character at a designer price
- ●Outstanding longevity and projection
Trade-offs
- ●Strictly autumn/winter evenings — completely wrong elsewhere
- ●Less unique than its launch positioning suggested
