Issey Miyake L'eau d'Issey Eau D'Ete Summer Edition for Men is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2009. L'eau d'Issey Eau D'Ete Summer Edition for Men opens with Yuzu, Saffron, Coriander, and Lemon Verbena, settles into a heart of Cypress, Geranium, Lotus, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. Issey Miyake's L'eau d'Issey Eau D'Ete Summer Edition for Men carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

A legendary, much-hyped summer flanker that's now a rare beast. While the price might be absurd, the scent itself delivers a uniquely smooth, citrus-floral aquatic experience, often preferred over the original for its refined character.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its fresh, clean, and transparent nature makes it ideally suited for casual wear and warmer climates. While it can work for a date or a semi-formal outdoor event, its moderate projection means it won't overwhelm in an office setting, though it's not the first choice for highly formal indoor events.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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

Imagine a cool, crystal-clear pond with flowers floating on top, infused with bright, zesty yuzu and tangerine. This fragrance opens with an uplifting burst of citrus, gracefully transitioning to a watery-floral heart of lotus and geranium, grounded by a subtle woody base of sandalwood and cypress, with a whisper of musk and saffron for an elegant, transparent finish.
