L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme Noir Absolu Issey Miyake for men

Only recently I woke up to the beauty of Issey Miyake's original formulation. For years I thought it had an off note and smells like Windex always making the fatal mistake of never testing it on my skin. About a month ago I did just that and discovered it is completely different than on paper. That off note faded away to reveal smooth citrus and lovely floral accords accentuated by gentle cinnamon very light wood. IMHO it's perfect for spring, summer and fall and left me searching for a flanker for winter and nighttime. This is it and it's well worth the cost of entry. Imagine the original issey miyake, now add more wood, amber and a touch more cinnamon and you have this. Darker, more intense and mature, perfect for winter and nightime or even year around. It's not overpowering just Issey Miyake's original turned up a notch or two to be darker, more sensual and brooding. Just awesome! Grab it now while you can!

I almost got disappointed after buying Noir Absolu but the first time I wore it to the office, I received a lot of compliments. The scent is somewhat similar to that of the original l'eau d'Issey pour homme but this is the classier, darker and mature version.

L'eau d'Issey , sealed box 75 ml, for swap with this one or Gold.

If this smells the same as the Gold Absolute version,then why do they come under different classification bearing in mind they practically have the same notes?

I just got this and the scent is great!!! No here is the problem, this has to be a defect or a bad batch because this didn't last more than 3 hours on me. Is the longevity a issue with this??? Anyone, this is a issey miyake and I be surprised if longevity is a issue.

Based on the descriptons above I was very curious to try, but its pretty hard to find in free-shops (I ve just come back from holiday and didnt find it in 03 different free-shops)I know it is a limited edition, may be it was discontinued...

One of the most beautiful scents I've ever had the pleasure of smelling - and I'm not just saying it as a fan of the entire Issey Miyake line for men. It was also a very pleasant surprise, especially for someone who searched high and low for three whole months and finally had it shipped all the way from the US to the EU.
L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme Noir Absolu by Issey Miyake is the L'eau Dissey we all know and love, but with a strongly discernible note of wood. Cinnamon and nutmeg are prectically indetectable, whereas - just like in the original - the notes of citrus and coriander are intensely strong. The scent is much darker, stronger, more intense and mannlier, as well as being incredibly durable (just as its classical version, or even the summer versions). It is perfect for both day and night, for summer as well as winter.
I can strongly recommend it to anyone - both to lovers of the brand and to people who have never had any contact with it.

چرا تو هیچ سایتی اینو واسه فروش نمیذارین جاکشا ؟

Noir Absolu - it is an absolutely amazing scent!!!, similar to the original, which I love, but more refined and intense! This one immediately became my favourite perfume! Highly recommended, shame that it is only a limmited edition and it is hard to find!

This moved up my Top 10 new Fragrances very fast, I dont really know why coz I didnt really adore the Intense Version before it but there´s somthin DARK about it that is really attractive, its the smokiest fragrance I have ever come across, it has this undescribable force that pulls me when am testing perfumes and I happen to pass by, too bad it is a limited edition, I probably might have problems getting it... damn... Its got some really good spicey and woody notes in it, I mean this is really masculine and kinda heavy, but heavy in a different fantastic way, its the first Issey Miyak scent where I was satisfied with the longevity, def. better than the other ones and besides, I cant mention it enough IT IS DARK, DARK and I adore DARK, with unbelievable sillage, I was pretty much dancing on a cloud of it after applyin 3 sprays and I really loved it. If Darth Vader would wear a fragrance, then this would be it lol

PS. There´s another L´eau D´Issey absolu flanker called "concentre or gold absolu" or somethin like that, its limited edition too but has a yellow bottle instead of black, does anyone know it? I´m kinda getting confused by the two of them because the smell really similar, is it just the same juice different bottle?

This is a very nice scent for the Spring and Summer. I love it.
It is very similar to John Varvatos Black Artisan.
Long lasting. Goes into my top 10 list.

Before anything else, put into consideration that I have never owned L'eau D'Issey Pour Homme nor any fragrance produced by this house. (Tested and know people who use it though)

I LOVE THIS. It's similar to the original one but darker. For those that own Leau Dissey and have used it as a signature scent for many years, You'll love this one. It still has that accord that made you buy it again and again.

To me, Leau Dissey is perfect EXCEPT that everybody knows and wears it. :( This one on the other hand, has a dark, ambery twist that will make you sniff, sniff, and sniff. I tested this yesterday and got some on my shirt... Damn, I keep coming back to my laundry basket to take 20 more last sniffs.

Goodbye, Tommy the high school dude from the 90s, hello Thomas the young CEO of the new Millennium.

P.S. I hate the fact that this is so hard to find. I usually buy from the grey market but all they have is the usual stuff. :(

Rich, slightly sweet, and warm at the begining but it dries down into something fresh and sweet just like the original flanker. It's not too strong nor too weak. It's not spicy either; even tough I get a strong ginger-like note. I actually like it more than any other editions. It's not dark but it's sensual. It's also much more appealing in cooler weather.

4xxx4 would you change Polo by Ralph Lauren after dacades of success? There is your answer....

Yes, I have to agree with 4xxx4, even though I'm a l'Eau d'Issey for women die-hard lover: you should really bring out something new for this poor, poor boys! ;) And as for us, girls - would you really bother so much to reissue Le Feu? Mmm? Please? :D

That said, I am still eager to know this one, even more than the Noir pour femme. But where the hack I will find this?? It wasn't even sold in any of the Duty Frees I've visited lately... I'm curious like hell! :)

I must also admit that out of all recent mass market trends, I like the "noir" wave the most - the black packages are so pretty, and the juices - at least in case of LL and EL Sensuous - seem more intriguing than originals.

If you are a woman who loves to wear male scents, this is brilliant. Dark and spicy but not overwhelmingly masculine. Far superior to the female version.

A darker twist to the original fragrance but also a much more classier grown up version. The woods really shine through more in this version. Fantastic for day or night use.Great sillage and projection. This scent - I am getting loads of compliments 10/10 for Noir Absolu Concentree.

always l eau d issey and something,,,why? why they dont bring something new? anyway i am looking forward a little for this,,,noir...it maybe will be interesting, maybe not let s see...
