Issey Miyake L'eau d'Issey — Natural Perfume Switch Out Suggestions
L’eau d’Issey is a women’s fragrance from Japanese fashion designer Issey Miyake. It was initially introduced in 1992. The ‘nose’ behind this perfume was Jacques Cavallier. ‘L’eau d’Issey’ means ‘the water of Issey’ in French. A relaunch of the fragrance was released in 2006. The fragrance follows the same ideals as ISSEY MIYAKE clothing design with the pursuit of one’s true nature in contemporary life through great design.
L’eau d’Issey is an aquatic floral. The top notes of Lotus, Freesia, Calone, and Rose create a refreshing and airy aura that awakens the senses with a burst of floral sweetness. As the scent develops, the heart notes of Lily and Osmanthus emerge, adding a rich and sophisticated dimension to the perfume, evoking memories of a blooming garden on a sunny day. The base notes of Ambrette, Virginia Cedar, and Sandalwood bring a warm and sensuous touch, leaving a lasting impression on the skin that lingers like a sweet memory.
