Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Summer 2013 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2013, created by Alberto Morillas. L'Eau d'Issey Summer 2013 opens with Grapefruit and Litchi, settles into a heart of Floral Notes, Passionfruit, and Guava, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes and Vanilla. Issey Miyake's L'Eau d'Issey Summer 2013 carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A truly divisive summer scent. For some, it's a juicy, refreshing fruit salad in a bottle, a burst of tropical happiness. For others, it's a chemical cocktail of chlorinated water and rotten fruit. Approach with caution, and definitely skin test this one.

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:
Summer

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its intensely fruity and fresh character makes it perfect for casual outings and hot weather, with many reviewers explicitly calling it 'summery'. It's too playful and potentially polarising for formal events or a conservative office environment, but suitable for a relaxed date night.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

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

L'Eau d'Issey Summer 2013 opens with a zesty splash of grapefruit and the sweet, watery kiss of litchi, quickly ushering in a heart of lush passionfruit and exotic guava. A subtle floral whisper underpins the tropical fruit fiesta. As it dries, a soft, creamy vanilla emerges, grounded by a hint of woody warmth, though critics argue the intended fruitiness often fades fast or never truly materialises.
