The story behind the bottle.
L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Summer Eau de Toilette, launched in 2010 and crafted by Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of summer freshness. The composition opens with yuzu and mandarin orange, creating a bright citrus-aromatic contrast against the green, herbal nuances of sage and cardamom. Vetyver and amber provide an earthy, woody base that anchors this vibrant blend, making it feel both light and grounding.
This fragrance is best applied as a light mist to allow its bright citrus top notes to shine through. The vetyver base takes time to bloom, so plan for at least an hour before it reaches its full depth. Ideal for daytime wear when you want a fresh, vibrant scent.
