L’Eau Majeure d’Issey Shade Of Sea is far more than a simple perfume. It is a journey to the other side of the globe. So, how about heading off on vacation ahead of time? L’Eau Majeure d’Issey Shade Of Sea takes us to Japan, and more specifically to the island of Zamami, a piece of land lost in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Highly appreciated by surfers and divers for the quality of its lagoon, the island of Zamami is equally renowned for the beauty of its land. It is precisely the alliance of these two worlds that is found in L’Eau Majeure d’Issey Shade Of Sea. This composition is akin to the fusion of the sun, nature and the ocean on the island.

L’Eau Majeure d’Issey Shade Of Sea, a contrasted perfume

To imagine this perfume, Issey Miyake enlisted the talented Aurélien Guichard, a celebrated perfumer from Grasse, and the 7th generation of noses in his family. With worldwide renown, he signs here a highly nuanced composition, embodying within a single perfume all the elements of nature. The sea and the freshness of the waves are symbolized by lemon, bergamot and bitter orange. Likewise, a sea salt accord occupies the heart of this fragrance. Frangipani flower, for its part, brings a more earthbound sweetness, while rosemary lets an aromatic breath drift through. The base of L’Eau Majeure d’Issey Shade Of Sea gradually becomes warmer. It is somewhat like wood warmed by the sun, blending cedar, sandalwood and ambergris.
