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, Passionfruit, and Guava, and dries down to a base of Woody 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.

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.
