Issey Miyake · L'Eau d'Issey

The Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey gift set for women combines L'Eau d'Issey perfume with a body moisturizer from the same line. Issey Miyake describes L'Eau d'Issey as an aquatic floral fragrance for women, inspired by water. Everything comes in a gift box.

What it smells like

• Top notes: lotus and rose accord, the signature of the L'Eau d'Issey line.
• Heart notes: a floral bouquet with lilies.
• Base notes: precious woods: exotic wood, amber, sandalwood, musk, and cedarwood.

The first impression is fresh, like water. The heart flowers are luminous, while the precious woods provide the final touch. The body cream bears the name of the same line, L'Eau d'Issey.

How to apply it

1. Body cream: apply after a shower, to slightly damp skin, and massage until absorbed.
2. Perfume: spray it over the cream, on the neck and wrists.
3. Hold the bottle at arm's length, not against the skin.
4. Do not rub the skin after spraying the perfume.
5. Use the cream on days when you don't wear perfume as well, so your skin stays moisturized.

Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey is an eau de toilette for women, the house's first aquatic floral fragrance. Issey Miyake envisioned it as the scent of water on a woman's skin: clear, with white flowers. It is available in 50 ml or 100 ml bottles.

What it smells like

• Top notes: a delicate, powdery accord of lotus and rose.
• Heart notes: an accord of lily and a fresh floral bouquet, with peonies and white lilies.
• Base notes: exotic wood, amber, sandalwood, musk, and cedarwood.

Lotus gives the sensation of fresh water. The white flowers in the heart are soft and luminous. The precious woods in the base complete the fragrance's trail, says the brand.

How to apply it

1. Spray onto clean skin after applying an unscented body cream.
2. Choose pulse points: the wrists, neck, and inner elbows.
3. Hold the bottle at a short distance so the fragrance falls like a fine mist.
4. Let it dry on its own without rubbing it into the skin.
5. A floral eau de toilette can be refreshed throughout the day with a spray.
