The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2022, A Drop d'Issey Eau de Parfum Fraiche by Issey Miyake is a Floral Aquatic fragrance that captures the essence of freshness and lightness. Perfumer Ane Ayo has crafted a scent that opens with Rain Notes and Watery Notes, creating an immediate sense of clarity and crispness. The heart of Lilac and Damask Rose adds a delicate floral touch, while the base notes of Ambrox Super, Dreamwood, and Virginia Cedar provide a subtle warmth without overpowering the freshness.
Apply this fragrance in light layers for best effect — it's designed to stay close to the skin and evolve subtly over time. The Rain Notes and Watery Notes are most prominent in the first hour, so enjoy them up close before they settle into a more nuanced profile.
