L'Eau d'Issey Florale
by Issey Miyake
L'Eau d'Issey Florale is a delicate, feminine floral with a fresh, watery opening dominated by rose and lily, enhanced by a soft citrus note and subtle woody base. It presents a clean, airy, and buoyant impression—reminiscent of blooming rose petals in a crisp, cool breeze—making it ideal for spring and summer days. The scent is linear, with minimal evolution over time, and performs as a true eau de toilette: light, refreshing, and easy to wear during daytime hours. While some users report strong or sharp sensations, such as a medicinal or soapy drydown, others describe it as elegant and sophisticated, with a subtle sweetness recalling Turkish delight. Longevity is moderate, often lasting around 5 to 6 hours, though sillage remains intimate to moderate, fading quickly. The perfume is consistent in its character across user reports, with a universally noted appeal to those who enjoy light, rosy, aquatic floral scents.
