Issey Miyake A Scent by Issey Miyake is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2009, created by Daphné Bugey. A Scent by Issey Miyake opens with Lemon, Galbanum, and Lemon Verbena, settles into a heart of Hyacinth and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Cedar. Issey Miyake's A Scent by Issey Miyake carries a Statement verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This green, fresh powerhouse is a divisive blast of invigorating nature. Opinion is split between a clean, zen-like experience and an overpowering, soapy assault. Not for the faint-hearted or those who dislike strong green notes.

About

A Scent opens with a sharp, vibrant burst of lemon and galbanum, instantly transporting you to a dew-kissed meadow. This intense green freshness quickly intertwines with the delicate, ethereal sweetness of hyacinth and the subtle clarity of jasmine. As it settles, a clean, slightly woody cedar note emerges, grounding the lively top and heart. It's truly a breath of fresh, crisp air in a bottle.
