The Story

L’Eau d’Issey Eau & Magnolia, launched in 2022 and crafted by Daphné Bugey, is a composition that marries the delicate beauty of magnolia with the invigorating freshness of water. The top note of bergamot introduces a sparkling brightness before giving way to the floral heart of magnolia and water notes, which evoke a sense of purity and lightness. The base of sandalwood grounds the fragrance with warmth and depth, creating a harmonious balance between freshness and softness.

Application Tips

This fragrance blooms best when applied directly to pulse points. The top notes are bright but fleeting, so layering it over lotion or skin that's slightly warmed can help extend its longevity. It reads well close to the skin rather than across a room, making it perfect for an intimate setting.
