Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Eau de Toilette 50ml Spray Vichy then settle into a woody-amberWatery florals with a backbone iris, peony and freesia float over cedarwood that keeps the whole thing from drifting away. L'Eau d'Issey reads clean and almost airy, the opposite of the heavy florals that ruled the nineties. 50ml EDT, for her. Two or three sprays in the morning sit close to skin, closer to a second skin scent than projection. Reapplies cleanly if you want a lift at midday.
