The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2008 by Issey Miyake, L'Eau d'Issey Summer Pour Homme 2008 is a refreshing aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of a summer day. The composition opens with a bright citrus top note, balanced by an herbal and aromatic heart. This fresh beginning gives way to warm spicy and soft amber undertones, creating a harmonious blend that feels both light and enveloping. Issey Miyake's commitment to innovation and elegance is reflected in this fragrance, which seamlessly transitions from day to night.
Apply one to two sprays on your pulse points for a balanced effect. The citrus notes are bright but fleeting, so let it settle for five minutes to allow the warm spicy and amber base notes to come through. Ideal for daytime wear when you want a fresh, aromatic presence.
