Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Summer is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2010, created by Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud. L'Eau d'Issey Summer opens with Floral, Rose, and Pear, settles into a heart of Peony and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Woody. Issey Miyake's L'Eau d'Issey Summer carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A summer flanker that struggles to define its own identity. Expect a fleeting, sweet floral opening before it settles into a less-than-thrilling dry down that some find divisive. Originality isn't its strong suit.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its generally weak performance and light, airy floral accords make it far more suitable for casual, daytime activities, including sport. The lack of intensity means it won't overpower in an office setting, but equally, it lacks the depth for formal events or romantic dates.

About

L'Eau d'Issey Summer opens with a delightful, juicy burst of sweet pear and delicate rose, a fresh floral introduction that promises much. This bright beginning quickly transitions to a heart dominated by peony, accented by a subtle, sometimes sharp, carnation. The journey concludes with a soft, pale woody base that offers little complexity or lasting power, often leaving wearers wanting more from its aquatic-leaning character.
