L'Eau d'Issey Pivoine

L'Eau d'Issey by Issey Miyake is a legendary feminine fragrance. Indeed, it was with this scent that the designer achieved his renown in the world of modern perfumery: You know, it is like girls, he said, you never forget the first one. And for me, my first fragrance was L'Eau d'Issey. It was an important starting point for my creative work. Every time I smell it, I am still moved. It is therefore only natural that it returns to the forefront in 2023, in a more floral and springlike version named L'Eau d'Issey Pivoine by Issey Miyake.

L'Eau d'Issey Pivoine by Issey Miyake, the journey of water in springtime

L'Eau d'Issey Pivoine by Issey Miyake is not the story of stagnant water. It is an odyssey that tells us of the journey of water as it runs, escapes and becomes one with the elements it meets. Here, these elements consist of flowers, fruits and precious woods. The petals give this fragrance a subtle, evanescent breath. Conversely, the wet bark lends it more depth and mystery. The result is a very poetic fragrance for women, playing with reflections of light. L'Eau d'Issey Pivoine by Issey Miyake is the symbol of calm water. It is a pure expression of it, symbolizing the return of fine days.

The very floral and fruity scent of L'Eau d'Issey Pivoine by Issey Miyake

L'Eau d'Issey Pivoine by Issey Miyake is a very natural fragrance, releasing a voluptuous, aquatic scent. Of course, as its name suggests, peony dominates. However, it should be noted that this is a flower whose scent cannot be extracted directly. Its breath is therefore entirely recreated in the laboratory. For L'Eau d'Issey Pivoine, Issey Miyake imagined a unique peony, at once floral but also juicy and green. This is accompanied notably by pear and white raspberry. L'Eau d'Issey Pivoine by Issey Miyake also concludes with greater depth. Its longevity comes from cedarwood essence. L'Eau d'Issey Pivoine by Issey Miyake is also a vegan and eco-responsible fragrance. It is made up of 87% ingredients of natural origin.

When wood makes its way onto the Issey Miyake bottle

L'Eau d'Issey Pivoine by Issey Miyake comes in a bottle unchanged since its first release, in 1992. As an anecdote, it was inspired by an evening in Paris and the moon shining above the Eiffel Tower. The result is an absolute balance. L'Eau d'Issey Pivoine by Issey Miyake comes in a kind of very contemporary sculpture, this time infused with a pink hue, evoking peony petals. In contrast, the bottle of L'Eau d'Issey Pivoine is topped with a wooden cap made of ash. Indeed, in an eco-responsible approach, the bottle of L'Eau d'Issey Pivoine is free of any plastic material. It is also made from 20% recycled glass.

Olfastory’s review

L'Eau d'Issey by Issey Miyake is a true legend of perfumery. Created in 1992, it was surprising from its very conception. Indeed, the fashion at the time was for very heady and opulent fragrances. L'Eau d'Issey, however, relied on a much purer and airier scent. In 1993, it won the award for best feminine fragrance at the Fragrance Foundation Awards. Exactly 30 years later, it returns to the forefront and is now named L'Eau d'Issey Pivoine. So, does it live up to the legend? Here is our review.
