Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Reflection In A Drop is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2008, created by Alberto Morillas. L'Eau d'Issey Reflection In A Drop opens with Lemon, Orange, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Rose and Lotus, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Vanilla. Issey Miyake's L'Eau d'Issey Reflection In A Drop carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This flanker to the perennial classic L'Eau d'Issey is either a fresh, summery delight or a synthetic, nose-burning horror, depending on who you ask. Expect vibrant citrus and aquatic florals, but brace yourself for potential divisiveness.

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.

About

Reflection In A Drop opens with a zesty, bright blast of lemon, orange, and mandarin, instantly invoking a clear, fresh sensation. This crisp citrus segues into a delicate heart where watery lotus mingles softly with a hint of rose, adding a subtle floral depth. The dry down is a clean, musky embrace, underpinned by a touch of warm amber and a whisper of vanilla, ensuring a gentle, lasting impression.
