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:

The vibrant citrus and aromatic freshness make this ideal for spring and summer, delivering a cooling, invigorating effect in warm weather. Its lack of deep warmth or density means it fades in impact during colder months.

Best For:
Office Date Casual Sport

Soft projection and a crisp, clean profile make it excellent for office, casual, and sporty situations where freshness is prized and boldness is unnecessary. Its understated character suits discreet occasions better than formal events.

About

L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Fraîche opens with a blast of zesty grapefruit and crisp bergamot, cooled by mint and aromatic rosemary. The heart unfolds with herbal sage, floral lavender, and a touch of spicy cardamom, creating a breezy, mineral freshness. As it dries down, earthy vetiver and smooth patchouli anchor the composition, lending a subtle woody depth. The overall impression is of cool water rushing over rocks - luminous, invigorating, and effortlessly modern.
