Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Summer 2018 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2018, created by Alberto Morillas. L'Eau d'Issey Summer 2018 opens with Grapefruit and Litchi, settles into a heart of Passionfruit and Guava, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes and Vanilla. Issey Miyake's L'Eau d'Issey Summer 2018 carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This Issey Miyake summer flanker is a bit of a chameleon, shifting from juicy fruit to aquatic freshness depending on who's smelling it. It's a pleasant, breezy scent but don't expect a showstopper - it's light, understated, and for some, a little too vague.

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
Also Works:
Spring Fall

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its light, fresh, and 'vague' nature makes it perfect for casual wear or the office, as it won't overpower. The lack of strong projection and the summery vibe means it’s less suited for formal events or a special date night where you might want something more impactful.

About

L'Eau d'Issey Summer 2018 opens with a zesty burst of grapefruit and sweet litchi, immediately whisking you away to sun-drenched climes. As it settles, a tropical heart of passionfruit and guava emerges, evoking vibrant holiday cocktails. The base is a subtle blend of vanilla and soft woods, grounding the fruitiness without ever feeling heavy, leaving a clean, airy finish.
