L'Eau d'Issey
Issey Miyake · Eau de Toilette (EDT) · 1992
≈ $92 · 100ml · approx. retail
A luminous, water-clear floral that opens with dewy lotus, freesia and a cool slice of melon before unfolding into a soft bouquet of peony, lily and lily of the valley. It dries down to a clean, transparent base of cedar, sandalwood and white musk, feeling weightless and serene rather than heady.
