L'Eau d'Issey Extract Edition Shiro Kuramata, launched in 2008 by Issey Miyake and crafted by perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, is a Floral Aquatic fragrance that embodies the brand's innovative spirit. The composition opens with rose water and melon, creating a fresh and vibrant top accord. This gives way to a heart of cyclamen, freesia, and lotus, adding layers of floral complexity. The base notes of exotic woods, amber, sandalwood, and musk provide warmth and depth, grounding the scent in a powdery yet aquatic finish.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance in a way that allows it to evolve with you throughout the day — one or two sprays on pulse points will let the fresh top notes give way to the warm base gradually. It's best suited for daytime wear, where its floral freshness can shine without overpowering.
