The story behind the bottle.
L'Eau d'Issey Summer 2008, launched by Issey Miyake in 2008, captures the essence of a vibrant summer day. The fragrance opens with fresh and fruity notes that evoke the freshness of a sunlit garden, quickly transitioning into a heart of rose that adds depth and warmth without overpowering the composition. The warm spicy base notes tie everything together, creating an inviting atmosphere that is both uplifting and comforting.
Apply this fragrance in light sprays, allowing it to build naturally on your skin. The fruity top notes are most prominent initially but give way to the warm spiciness and floral heart over time, making it ideal for daytime wear.
