The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018, L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Summer 2018 by Issey Miyake is a vibrant and fresh aromatic fruity fragrance crafted by perfumer Alberto Morillas. The composition opens with the zesty burst of grapefruit and kiwi, followed by the warm spice notes of coriander and nutmeg. These top and middle notes blend seamlessly into a woody base of cypress and vetiver, creating a scent that is both energizing and grounding. This fragrance embodies the essence of summer freshness while maintaining a sophisticated touch.
This fragrance blooms best when applied to pulse points. The top notes are bright but fleeting, so reapply every few hours for continuous freshness. For longer-lasting warmth, focus on areas like your wrists and neck.
