The cedarwood fragrances are a staple for both men and women as the alluring earthy aroma captivates the senses and draws the individual closer to nature. Luxury perfume brand Issey Miyake revolutionizes the sensation of the traditional cedarwood fragrance with its brand new masculine product titled L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Eau&Cédre.

This sophisticated perfume presents a clash of the elements as it brings the dry and vibrant sensibilities of cedarwood with the [moist and unctuous properties of water](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nautica-fragrances). The author of this vibrant opus is Marie Salamagne, "the star of the [Firmenich](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/florist-eau-de-parfum) fragrance house." The ground-breaking collision in this one-of-a-kind cedarwood fragrance is accented by the subtle notes of grapefruit, piercing cardamom, and green cypress. With the inclusion of the synthetic compound Calone, one may really discern the presence of salty water in each application.
