L'Eau d'Issey Summer Edition

Moreover, it is essential to all human life. Issey Miyake therefore decided to make it his finest source of olfactory inspiration. And thus he created L’Eau d’Issey, in 1992. In 2022, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of its release, this fragrance transforms into a new summer scent. It becomes L’Eau d’Issey Summer Édition 2022, while its bottle is elegantly decorated by the artist Kevin Lucbert.

L’Eau d’Issey Summer Édition 2022, the journey of water

Since its release in 1992, L’Eau d’Issey has not told us a story of water. It is rather an odyssey, a journey... Becoming one with nature, water gradually enriches itself with the elements encountered along its path. Its scent reveals its history. And this is precisely what is also found in L’Eau d’Issey Summer Édition 2022. But through which lands has it passed? Here, the journey seems to be typically Mediterranean and very sun-kissed. L’Eau d’Issey Summer Édition 2022 marks three stops, each of which is the work of a perfumer.

The three stops of L’Eau d’Issey Summer Édition 2022 by Issey Miyake

L’Eau d’Issey Summer Édition 2022 by Issey Miyake opens with refreshing and very sun-kissed top notes. These are the work of Marie Salamagne, who decided to set down her bags in the Greek Cyclades. The warmth of the sand is highlighted by neroli. The freshness of the sea rests here on an aquatic accord. Then, L’Eau d’Issey Summer Édition 2022 by Issey Miyake continues its route toward the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, Sicily. Renowned for its citrus groves, this place is here embodied by a trio of orange, bergamot and lemon. For more femininity, Daphné Bugey adds orange blossom, rose and frangipani flower. Finally, the journey closes with Dora Baghriche and the island of Panarea, a volcanic land located at the heart of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Creating a true addiction, this fragrance ends with a blend of driftwood, coconut milk and musk.

Kevin Lucbert’s bottle

Finally, to complete this limited edition, Issey Miyake also decided to call on a renowned artist to embellish its bottle. Kevin Lucbert is a French artist known worldwide for his drawings made with a ballpoint pen. It is in red ink that he chose to decorate Issey Miyake’s transparent bottle. A kind of path appears on its walls. The cardboard box of L’Eau d’Issey Summer Édition 2022, meanwhile, is also decorated with a few colorful and subtle sketches, starting with the presence of a few shimmering plants.
