The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2015 and crafted by perfumer Alberto Morillas, L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Oceanic Expedition takes inspiration from the vast ocean. The composition opens with a bright citrus-aromatic accord that evokes the freshness of sea spray and crisp bergamot, leading into an aromatic heart marked by marine notes and fresh spices. This scent embodies the spirit of exploration, capturing the essence of a journey across the open waters.
One spray is enough for this fragrance as it projects well from skin. The marine notes develop over time, so give it a few minutes before reapplying if you want a stronger presence throughout the day.
