When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

The crisp citrus and marine notes make this best for spring and summer, offering a breezy, refreshing effect that complements warmer weather. The light woody base allows for some versatility into fall, but lacks the heft for winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Low projection and fresh, clean character make this perfect for office and casual wear, and it will not overwhelm in close quarters. It is also sporty and energetic, but is too understated for formal occasions.

About

L'Eau Majeure d'Issey Eau de Toilette opens with a rush of tart bergamot and grapefruit, mingling with a bracing salty sea water accord that conjures images of windswept coasts. The heart introduces hedione and a touch of tea for airy freshness, while a base of cashmeran, amberwood, and cedar provides silky-soft, modern woods and a subtle mineral undertone. The result is a luminous, clean, and quietly assertive masculine fragrance, ideal for those seeking an aquatic with more depth and woodiness than the norm.
