L'Eau d’Issey Lotus
by Issey Miyake
L'Eau d'Issey Lotus is a soft, dewy aquatic fragrance that evokes a tropical rainforest with lush greenery, fresh lotus blossoms, and a refreshing waterfall. It opens with a watery, ozonic burst that feels alive and natural, with a subtle green herbal character and delicate floral notes of jasmine sambac and hyacinth. The scent is balanced and linear—calming and comforting, with a warm, soft musk and white woods in the drydown. Its fragrance is neither overpowering nor obtrusive; it lingers gently through the day, with some users noting lingering traces up to 24 hours. The presentation is minimalist and elegant, with a frosted green bottle that complements the quiet serenity of the scent.
