Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Extract Edition Shiro Kuramata is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2008, created by Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud. L'Eau d'Issey Extract Edition Shiro Kuramata opens with Cyclamen, Rose, Freesia, and Lotus, settles into a heart of Lily of the Valley, Peony, Lily, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, Amber, and Cedar. Issey Miyake's L'Eau d'Issey Extract Edition Shiro Kuramata carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

A classic for a reason, this one's a clean, watery floral that manages to feel both fresh and intensely elegant. It's a crowd-pleaser that delivers sophisticated serenity without trying too hard.

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.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • 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

L'Eau d'Issey opens with a delicate, dewy rose and sweet melon, immediately evoking the sensation of a fresh aquatic floral. As it settles, a bouquet of lily and peony emerges, underpinned by a soft, almost powdery white floral heart. The base maintains this clean, refined aura with subtle woods, creamy sandalwood, and a whisper of amber and musk, leaving a lasting impression of serene freshness.
