A 1992 floral aquatic landmark that expresses the idea of water through lotus, Calone, and pale flowers.

About This Fragrance
L'Eau d'Issey is Issey Miyake's first fragrance, launched in 1992. It translates the idea of water into scent through Jacques Cavallier Belletrud's use of lotus, pale flowers, and Calone.
Scent Profile
The opening combines lotus, melon, and Calone for cool watery transparency. The heart moves into lily, lily of the valley, and peony, while the base leaves clean musk, sandalwood, and cedarwood on skin. It is memorable because of its clear form rather than heaviness.
Who It's For
It suits spring and summer daytime wear, work mornings, white shirts, and minimal styling. It is ideal for people who prefer clean aquatic space over sweetness, though the melon-like ozonic Calone effect should be tested on skin.
