Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Summer 2016 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2016, created by Alberto Morillas. L'Eau d'Issey Summer 2016 opens with Grapefruit and Litchi, settles into a heart of Pitahaya, Passionfruit, and Guava, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes and Vanilla. Issey Miyake's L'Eau d'Issey Summer 2016 carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

If 'tropical holiday' was a smell, this would be it. A proper summer fragrance, but don't expect it to last longer than your cocktail. It's a crowd-pleaser for those who like light, fruity scents, but some find it a bit too similar to previous editions.

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.
