The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2012, L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Eau de Toilette L'Ete by Issey Miyake is a refreshing Aromatic Aquatic fragrance. Perfumer Jacques Cavallier crafted this composition with a bright citrus-aromatic opening of yuzu and mandarin orange that gives way to the crispness of sea water and sage, capturing the essence of a summer breeze. The heart notes of cardamom add warmth and depth, while vetiver and amber provide an earthy base that grounds the freshness above.
This fragrance is best applied in light spritzes to avoid overpowering its delicate balance. The yuzu and mandarin opening notes are bright but fleeting, so allow it to settle for a few minutes after application. It's ideal for daytime wear, where the marine and green accords shine without being too heavy.
