The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Lumière d’Issey, launched in 2026 by Issey Miyake and crafted by Fabrice Pellegrin and Marie Salamagne, embodies the brand’s signature blend of elegance and innovation. The fragrance opens with a vibrant burst of green mandarin and neroli, creating an immediate freshness that is both crisp and inviting. As it evolves, orange blossom and freesia add a delicate floral touch, while pistachio introduces a subtle sweetness. The base notes of white musk, sandalwood, and woody accords ground the composition with warmth and depth.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to your pulse points for a balanced effect. The citrus opening notes are bright but fleeting, so they work best when layered over the longer-lasting musky and woody base notes. Ideal for daytime wear, where its subtle sweetness complements professional settings.
