L'eau D'issey Eau & Magnolia Perfume

Details and Care

L'eau D'issey Eau & Magnolia is an aquatic white floral fragrance for women by Issey Miyake. This refined scent blends L'eau D'issey's signature watery notes with the delicate magnolia flower.

It opens with a clean bergamot top note infused with neroli blossoms. This combination flows into heart tones of watery essence, magnolia and late summer rose. Some wearers detect hints of pear, citrus and other summery white flowers within this fragrance. Despite the fragrance's light quality, it feels full and sensual, pushing past the typical one-note magnolia perfume. A classic and clean sandalwood base rounds out the composition. Overall, this scent is a more flower-forward and less green interpretation of the original L'eau D'issey.
