Which Should You Buy?
A benchmark aquatic floral that's as clear and delicate as a mountain spring, L'Eau d'Issey is the archetype of effortless daily elegance. Both uplifting and quietly sophisticated.
A softened, sweeter reading of Issey Miyake's L'Eau d'Issey - the rose-lotus-lily bouquet is close in spirit, but the crystalline, aquatic-mineral edge that defines the original is largely smoothed away.
