L’Eau d’Issey Pure, the new Nectar de Parfum from Issey Miyake

“With spirit and modesty I only go halfway. The woman wearing one of my clothes or my perfume does the other half of the route. I give birth to it, it brings it to life. An indispensable communion.

Why did you choose water as a source of inspiration?

If Issey Miyake chose to be inspired by water to make her first perfume, it is because it is a founding element of life and that nothing would be possible without it. What is more, water is universal in scope. It is an essential ingredient, whatever the times, the cultures and the part of the globe where you are.

Water is an inexhaustible source of inspiration and takes on many faces. It is at the same time underground, cool when it crosses the mountains, more animated in the oceans, intrepid and fiery in the rivers, aerial when the rain falls… However, it is precisely all this that we find in the collection L’Eau d’Issey d’Issey Miyake.

The different faces of L’Eau d’Issey

Issey Miyake has chosen to give us in turn multiple faces of water. Indeed, water does not always have the same smell or the same appearance. Logically, her perfume is constantly reinventing itself. In 1992, it was a floral and aquatic juice.

Since 2000, L’Eau d’Issey has appeared in limited editions every summer. Finally, Issey Miyake made the following editions in turn: A Drop on a Petal, Reflections of a Drop, a Drop on a Cloud, Wood Flower, Absolute Black, Absolute Gold, Lotus or City Blossom.
