Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Summer 2014 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2014. L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Summer 2014 opens with Kiwi, Grapefruit, and Pineapple, settles into a heart of Nutmeg and Coriander, and dries down to a base of Vetiver and Cypress. Issey Miyake's L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Summer 2014 carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a divisive summer scent, echoing the original L'Eau d'Issey with a twist. Some find it a 'nose-gasm' of aquatic freshness, while others dismiss it as watered down, synthetic, or a rehash of previous flankers. Mostly, it's a pleasant if unexciting summer grab.

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

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

Dive into a summery cascade of vibrant grapefruit, juicy kiwi, and sweet pineapple. Hints of nutmeg and coriander add a subtle, fresh spice to the fruity medley, preventing it from being overly sweet. The dry down settles into a clean, aquatic woodiness with vetiver and cypress, evoking a tranquil dip in a cool ocean pool. It’s light, breezy, and unmistakably a summer edition, though some find it lacks a distinct marine accord despite aquatic impressions.
