The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2024 by Marie Salamagne, L'Eau d'Issey Solar Violet is a modern interpretation of the violet fragrance, seamlessly blending warmth with freshness and delicacy with passion. It opens with the juicy aromas of sun-kissed pear, which enhances the powdery essence of violet leaf absolute at its heart. The base notes of iris add an elegant silkiness to the composition. This floral fragrance is crafted with 100% responsibly sourced natural violet leaves from Egypt and made with 90% natural origin ingredients, reflecting Issey Miyake's commitment to sustainability.
Apply one to two sprays for a subtle yet lasting effect. The pear top note is vibrant but short-lived, while the iris base provides a gentle warmth that lingers throughout the day.
