17 years after the release of L'Eau d'Issey, Japanese couturier Issey Miyake wanted another fresh, essential fragrance; a scent as simple and lovely as the air we breathe. This vital breath drawn from the heart of nature is at once soaring, green, woodsy and floral. A blend of simplicity and complexity, just like its minimalist, seemingly brute-glass bottle.
A decade after the launch of L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme, Issey Miyake tells us a new story of water - a story of mystery, depth, and attraction. An invitation to discover a universe of sensations, contrasts and emotions. Inspired by the elements, yet as different as night and day, L'Eau Bleue d'Issey Pour Homme is a symbol of water, life, energy and purity. Journey into a world of discovery.
Created by the Japanese design house Issey Miyake in 1992. Earth’s most precious element, water, is the central theme of this fragrance. It represents purity, serenity, movement and vivacity by blending the sparkling qualities of water, with the warm undertones of the earth.
In 2007, Issey Miyake opened a creative new parenthesis by inviting fragrance designer Alberto Morillas to reinvent L’eau d’Issey. The latter dreamt up ‘a garden early in the morning, a dewdrop on a flower petal’ by shifting the original’s aquatic register to a new evocation, between grassy dampness, fresh mistiness and abstract floral notes. A poetic world bathed in gentle waters, with diaphanous, shimmering flowers.
Issey Miyake also designs for men, and resorts to unusual yet versatile materials in his creations, where audacity and tradition mingle in a feeling of timeless freedom and well-being. With a similar approach, he set out to create a multipurpose yet distinctive eau de toilette for men.
Gentle, poetic...Issey Miyake opens an olfactory parenthesis around their best-seller. The cottony fragrance evokes the floating, weightless sensation of a cloud.
A fruitier, more colourful burst of citrus, evolving towards a spicy-astringent heart, just barely camphored with cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg and saffron. Spicy and multi-facetted, the heart gets some fresh air from the aquatic note of blue water lily. The deeper, darker, woody trail blends papyrus, frankincense and benzoin.
Composed of reflections in millions of dew drops, freshness of lotus, mimose, accords of warm wood, aquatic accords with a hint of musk, Reflection In A Drop is a reedition of the highly successful 2007 summer fragrance from Issey Miyake, A Drop on a Petal. Inspired by a drop of water which stays on floral petals after rain and celebrates nature, naturalness, purity and freshness with the sun always coming after rain, awakening to nature bathed in thousands of colours of sunshine. Reflection In A Drop is bright and shiny, with crystal, floral bouquets decorated with gentle rain drops which glitter just like precious gems.
