The story behind the bottle.
L'Eau d'Issey Summer 2018 by Issey Miyake, launched in 2018 and crafted by perfumer Alberto Morillas, is a vibrant and refreshing composition that captures the essence of summer. The fragrance opens with litchi, pink grapefruit, passionfruit, and guava, creating a burst of fruity and tropical freshness. These top notes are balanced by woody undertones and vanilla, which add warmth and depth to the overall aroma.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points and let it dry for a few minutes before dressing. The fruity top notes are bright but fleeting, while the woody base ensures the scent lingers throughout the day.
