L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Noir Ambre by Issey Miyake. op notes are Saffron, Cinnamon, Nutmeg and Coriander; middle notes are Leather, Cedar, Papyrus and Vetiver; base notes are Amber, Vanilla and Tonka Bean. This is one of the most coveted scents in the fragrance community in the US, since it is not sold in the US. Its also batch released by Issey Miyake in Japan and sometimes bottles fetch up to US$200 on ebay. So, lets deal with 2 key points on this scent. Firstly, this is a niche/luxury style leather and ambre scent, that is formal wear ready. Secondly this is not for anyone who is not into that style of scent described. This is a complex scent with some blending that is better than Creeds or Parfum de Marley scents. This is not designer Issey Miyake. This is if Issey Miyake was planning to have a luxury line like Tom Ford.
