The story behind the bottle.
L'Eau d'Issey City Blossom was launched in 2015 by Issey Miyake and created by perfumer Alberto Morillas. This fragrance captures the essence of a modern city, blending fresh citrus and white florals with an ozonic touch that evokes the crispness of urban air after a rainstorm. The composition opens with calone and pink pepper, creating a vibrant and refreshing start. As it develops, magnolia, freesia, lily-of-the-valley, and rose bring a delicate floral bouquet to the forefront, supported by osmanthus and white cedar extract that add warmth and depth. White musk and ambroxan ground the scent with a subtle, powdery finish.
This fragrance opens with a bright and fresh top note that fades within an hour. Apply it generously to your pulse points for a longer-lasting effect. The ozonic and citrus notes are best appreciated close to skin rather than across a room, so layering is key.
