L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme Wood and Wood turns the house’s cool clarity toward the forest, opening with a lively squeeze of grapefruit and cardamom brightened by elemi, then sliding into a plush heart where an apricot nuance softens ambroxan, Virginia cedar, and sandalwood. It settles into textured woods touched with Haitian vetiver and patchouli for a confident yet easygoing signature that feels fresh, polished, and quietly powerful from day to night.

Story and Positioning
Conceived as a nature-forward chapter within the L’Eau d’Issey for men universe, Wood and Wood focuses on a double play of cedar and sandalwood lifted by citrus for modern presence and easy wear. If you enjoy refined woody fresh styles, it shares a kinship with crisp woods highlighted by the brand as the strength of wood with citrus accents, and fans often compare it to the mood of Burberry Hero and Terre d’Hermès Eau Intense Vétiver while staying distinctly Issey. It sits alongside Eau and Cèdre, and Vétiver within the growing line.
Bottle and Design
The iconic tall Issey silhouette is rendered in warm brown glass that reads like sunlit wood against clear, minimal lines. A wood-style cap crowns the clean architecture, and the sturdy base gives reliable balance in hand and on the dresser. Imagery and copy across the line emphasize a crafted, nature-inspired presentation with citrus bright accents.
