Its light, fresh floral character makes it ideal for casual wear and daily office use, though some found it too weak for lasting power. It lacks the depth required for formal events or romantic evenings, leaning more towards an easy-wearing daytime scent.

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.
