Launched in 2009 by Issey Miyake, A Scent by Issey Miyake is a Floral fragrance that embodies the brand's innovative spirit. Created by perfumer Daphné Bugey, it opens with a vibrant citrus and green accord that feels fresh and invigorating — almost like stepping into a lush garden. The heart of white floral notes adds a soft, delicate touch, while the woody and herbal base provides grounding warmth. This composition is a study in balance, where each note plays its part without overpowering the others.

Application Tips
For best effect, apply A Scent by Issey Miyake to pulse points in the morning. The citrus and green top notes fade within an hour but leave a subtle trail that evolves into the warm woody base as the day progresses. This fragrance reads better close to skin than across a room, so don’t be afraid to layer it for added depth.
