The story behind the bottle.
Alberto Morillas crafted L'Eau d'Issey Summer 2017 for Issey Miyake, launching it in 2017 as a vibrant and refreshing take on summer. The composition opens with pink grapefruit and litchi, creating an immediate burst of freshness that feels like a splash of cool water. As the watery notes mingle with guava and passionfruit, the fragrance captures the essence of a tropical escape. The heart features delicate floral accents, which add a soft touch to the fruity exuberance before settling into a warm base of exotic woods and vanilla.
Apply this fragrance with one or two sprays — the citrus top notes are bright but quickly give way to the warm base. It’s best for daytime wear when you want something light and fresh that still has depth.
