L'Eau d'Issey Eau d'Ete 2011

L'Eau d'Issey Eau d'Été 2011 opens with crisp pear and dewy rose—fresh, almost icy—before carnation and peony settle into the heart with a spiced, slightly peppery warmth. The woodsy base emerges gradually, grounding the florals in dry cedar and resinous depth, while osmanthus adds a subtle apricot-like sweetness that curls into the drydown. Water notes drift throughout like morning mist, keeping everything weightless and cool against skin.
