🌊 Scent Experience
Initial Impression:
L’Eau d’Issey opens with a clean and crystalline freshness that evokes the feeling of cool, flowing water. The presence of lotus and rose water sets a watery-floral tone that is both delicate and refreshing. Calone—a marine aroma compound—adds a dewy, ozonic quality that was groundbreaking at the time of its release.
Heart:
As the scent evolves, it reveals a vibrant bouquet of white florals. Lily stands out as the star note—graceful and radiant—surrounded by peony and a touch of spicy carnation. Osmanthus adds a nuanced fruity-floral sweetness with hints of apricot, elevating the heart with natural charm and elegance.
Dry Down:
In the base, warm woods and sensual musk ground the fragrance. Cedar and sandalwood bring a soft, dry sophistication, while amber and musk provide lasting depth and creamy warmth. This subtle yet persistent base ensures the fragrance lingers beautifully on the skin.
