L'Eau d'Issey Pure

L’Eau d’Issey Pure, like a pure drop of water on the skin. When Issey Miyake invented L’Eau d’Issey in 1992, he stated: With spirit and modesty, I have only made half the journey. It is the woman who makes the other half of the journey when she wears one of my garments or one of my fragrances

Where to buy

I give it birth, she gives it life. As if to thank women, Issey Miyake decided to create a new version of L’Eau d’Issey. Although L’Eau d’Issey Pure draws inspiration from its predecessor, the creation of this composition is original and above all exceptional.

L’Eau d’Issey Pure, clear as water

L’Eau d’Issey Pure is like an interpretation of ceaselessly flowing water. At times calm, at times wild, like a torrent that carries us ever further and faster. While this version of L’Eau d’Issey Pure does not contain citrus, it nonetheless possesses marine effluvia as well as a very carnal facet. L’Eau d’Issey Pure opens on a marine accord that offers very pure and very fresh fragrances. One can easily picture the sea spray and feel the force of the winds. This sensation is reinforced by the presence of ambergris. Indeed, the latter is an ingredient of animal origin whose scent is shaped by air, sun and sea. Ambergris here delivers sensual and spicy effluvia. The presence of lily, a very feminine white flower, brings a suave touch while orange blossom offers very luminous scents. As for Damanesca rose, it brings the romanticism of a rose along with its fruity and lemony facets. Jasmine brings an opulent and rich aspect. It combines wonderfully with the very seductive depth of Cashmeran.

The slender silhouette of the L’Eau d’Issey Pure bottle

As the story goes, the bottle of the first Eau d’Issey was inspired while Issey Miyake was looking at the Eiffel Tower. The moon shone at the top of the beautiful steel tower. He then invented the bottle that we know, conical, topped with a crystalline ball. Although this emblematic ball has disappeared, the bottle of L’Eau d’Issey Pure still has a very slender silhouette, as if reaching toward the sky. The base of the bottle is more rounded, more feminine. The whole is crowned by a brushed metal cap that signs the modernity of the ensemble. It also demonstrates Issey Miyake’s love of contrasts, as it very skillfully plays here on the contrast between steel and glass… A majestic bottle.

For the pleasure of women, Issey Miyake created L’Eau d’Issey Pure, which was launched in spring 2016. It is a reimagined composition of L’Eau d’Issey, conceived in 1992. More marine than ever, L’Eau d’Issey Pure places water at the center of the fragrance. Combined with exceptional ingredients, L’Eau d’Issey Pure settles on the skin like a beautiful, sun-kissed drop of water.
