Issey Miyake A Scent Soleil de Neroli is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2011, created by Daphné Bugey. A Scent Soleil de Neroli opens with Tiare Flower and Neroli, settles into a heart of Hyacinth, Jasmine, and Gardenia, and dries down to a base of Musk. Issey Miyake's A Scent Soleil de Neroli carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This limited-edition Issey Miyake is a sharply divisive floral. While some adore its clean, fresh, and slightly bitter character for hot weather, others find the prominent hyacinth and neroli too sharp and soapy.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its fresh, clean character makes it ideal for casual wear and sports, especially in warm climates. However, its sharp opening and moderate projection mean it might be a bit much for intimate dates or very formal settings.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

A sharp, airy blast of neroli and tiare flower kicks things off, immediately transporting you to a sun-drenched floral garden. The heart is a vibrant bouquet of jasmine, gardenia, and hyacinth that can be quite intense, settling into a clean, musky base that lingers on the skin. It’s fresh, green, and distinctly floral throughout.
