The story behind the bottle.
In 2009, Daphné Bugey created L'Eau d'Issey Une Goutte de Nuage for Issey Miyake, a fragrance that captures the essence of a meeting between water and sky. The composition opens with a bright white tea note, leading into a heart filled with delicate lotus and romantic rose. These floral notes are grounded by a soft base of musk and woods, creating an atmosphere that is both gentle and luminous. This scent symbolizes a union of East and West, reflecting the innovative spirit of Issey Miyake's designs.
Apply one to two sprays — the tea and lotus top notes are fleeting but impactful. The musky base develops slowly, so it's best applied early in the day for sustained warmth.
