About

L'Eau d'Issey Summer 2008 opens with a burst of delicate florals, where peony and rose mingle with the subtle apricot-like sweetness of osmanthus. A distinct, slightly spicy carnation note weaves through, sometimes clashing, sometimes adding an intriguing edge. Juicy pear lends a light fruitiness, all wrapped in a fresh, watery veil, evoking a sense of a lush, blooming garden after a spring rain.
