ISSEY MIYAKE WOOD&WOOD

Released in 2019, Wood & Wood is a woody-aromatic flanker from Issey Miyake that mixes fresh citrus and spicy tones with soft woods. It opens with grapefruit, cardamom, and elemi resin, then heads into sweeter heart notes like apricot, ambroxan, cedar, and sandalwood. The dry down settles into woody base notes—patchouli, vetiver, and other woods—giving it warmth and smoothness. It’s pleasant, versatile, and safe for many occasions, but some feel the wood elements are more subtle than the name suggests.
