L'Eau d'Issey Summer 2013

L'Eau d'Issey Summer 2013 opens with a bright litchi and pink grapefruit snap that feels almost syrupy-tart against warm skin. Guava and passionfruit bloom softly in the middle, their custard-like sweetness wrapped in delicate florals that never turn powdery. As it settles, exotic woods and vanilla anchor the composition—creamy but never heavy, lingering as a gentle warmth that smells like sun-warmed fruit leather and pale wood. Summer rendered as a second skin.
