UPDATE
I got this today and it is amazing! One spray on the back of my hand and it is choking me out a little bit while I work on the computer, haha. That is the old style I remember from when I used to own this years ago!

I just bought a bottle of this. I am really hoping that it has some of the former glory of the original 90’s bottle I used to own.
BTW, does anyone know anything about the Concrete Edition / Edition Beton / On The Rock version from 2009? Maybe it is better than the current formulations of L’eau d’Issey?

If you’re pissed about reformulations on the original, this is what you want. Guaranteed 2010 version, cheap as chips, 100% the same scent as the original (confirmed in their marketing copy). People here claiming it’s slightly different are likely comparing it to current reformulations of the original. Buy with confidence.

Owning at least 80% of Issey-Miyake men’s and women’s scents…. This is 95% of the original scent. Yes there is a difference between the original and the wood version. Wood gives it a deeper scent which seems to be more richer and wamer in feel. I love it….
10 out of 10.
Sex in a bottle.

To everyone saying it is the same as the original… I have to disagree. It has a stronger wood smell on the opening. I will say it is similar but not the same by any means.

so cliche sometimes to pick one of your fragrances as a favourite … I’ve been smelled many many scents which are great and sometimes became a favourite … unlike this fragrance, Issey for me is the only scent that I will remember and the most scent I recognize even I didn’t smell it for quite long … indeed this is really really scent that match mine, and I think I more more in love with this fragrance. Now with the du bois edition which is lovely to have a real wood as bottle and nothing changed as an original scent … this is the ultimate edition for issey miyake pour homme.
Thanks for producing the lovely scent … I am forever a fan.

The most beautiful bottle of L’Eau d’Issey line. Woody charm,gently…so amazing!

No surprises to be found here I’m afraid. This fragrance is an exact copy of the original L’eau d’Issey pour Homme. The only difference here is the packaging.
Bit of a shame really. I would have liked to have seen a woodsier version of the original presented here.

According to the official website this is the classic fragrance in a new bottle.. there’s no difference in the juice

Opens more agressively than the original, and I can detect a woody nutmeg note, but when It dries down it is exactly the same as the original.
Good stuff, but nothing different though.

Jimbo – :
Bottle is made of real wood, very nice crafted and painted! Love it so much!
Like others’ review, it is the more powerful edition of the original ones. Really strong and powerful freshness, then dry down is very similar to the original.
Very creative bottle design yet “Stronger” version, need to think twice to buy it?
Plakhtiev – :
Nice packaging, but the scent is indeed too similar to the original (though it somehow feels a bit warmer/woodier) L’eau d’Issey to make it really worth buying.
Don’t get me wrong though; it’s still a fantastic scent!

Just tried this one at Nordstrom. Starts very promising on a deep and slightly sweetish woody note but turns into the exact copy of the original L’Eau D’Issey Pour Homme almost immediately.
