L'Eau d'Issey Shades Of Kolam by Issey Miyake Men The fragrance opens with a burst of cardamom, backed by a luminous ray of grapefruit and bergamot. At the heart of the perfume, a green tea accord highlights the elegance of sophisticated coriander seed. The woody base, composed of cedar and cashmere, evokes the incandescent warmth of South India, as well as the smoothness of the milky cardamom tea that is drunk in the markets of Chennai.
