The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2015 and crafted by perfumer Christophe Raynaud, L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Fraiche by Issey Miyake is a Woody Aquatic fragrance that captures the essence of freshness and crispness. The composition opens with vibrant notes of grapefruit and rosemary, giving way to a heart of bergamot, mint, cardamom, and sea buckthorn. These bright, aromatic elements contrast with the warm, woody base of vetiver, patchouli, and musk. This fragrance embodies Issey Miyake's innovative spirit, blending traditional Japanese elegance with modern sensibilities.
Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points in the morning for optimal freshness. This fragrance develops quickly on skin, so avoid over-application — a light touch allows its aromatic and woody nuances to shine throughout the day.

Christophe Raynaud
Architect first, craftsman secondChristophe Raynaud is a perfumer who describes himself as a craftsman with the sensitivity of an artist. He begins each fragrance with a raw olfactory block, working for hours to shape it as a sculptor would — first as architect, then as craftsman.
“At first, I am the architect, and then I become the craftsman.”
