Pictures
Issey Miyaké thought about creating a perfume that was "as clear as spring water", combining the spray of a waterfall, the fragrance of flowers, and the scent of springtime forest. L'Eau d'Issey achieved an enormous popularity, especially in the United States in the 1990s.
L'Eau d'Issey is an aquatic floral scent with transparent notes of lotus, freesia and cyclamen and juicy melon.
The middle note of peony, lily and carnation reveals the perfume's character.
The end note is a refined woody scent with the notes of cedar, sandal, musk and amber. It was created in 1992 by Jacques Cavallier. L'eau d'Issey was launched in 1992.

My mum loves it. But it always gives me headaches.
One perfume that I don't like to wear or smell. First is Chanel N5

its such a clean scent, people like it on me, but they say it has quite a strong lilyofthevalley smell, but i cant detect its so strong, for me its very harmonized

it's too strong but the scent of it is very classic.

This perfume was the first designer perfume that i had.i still remember it; it is floral and fresh and long lasting

smells sour to me and it reminds me of Ralph Lauren Polo Sport woman. Also the bottle is very simple but not in a pretty way, looks cheap, smells cheap. No offence please.

This is a horrible perfume! I read a rave review of it once and couldn't wait to smell it but when I did it made me virtually recoil. I really hated the smell and would never buy a perfume that smells this yucky. I can't believe it's so popular.

Years ago I used to like it a lot. Now all that I can smell is melon, melon and melon... and something strong and sharp. I also do not like the Lily of the Valley ingredient. It smells too ordinary and reminds me of soap. I look for something more sofisticated and unique in perfumes. Well, I am definitely not a fan of aquatic fragnances, at lest not this one.

I'm looking for a feminine, fresh but unique summer fragrance for a very long time. OK, now it's September, I can wait for a while.... but could you help me? I have one favourite: Jesus del Pozo Duende (not Essentia Duende), and i'm looking for a similar styled scent.
Issey Miyake L'Eau Issey is definetely not for me, it's nothing classic in it, it's somehow sharp and annoying on my skin:(

A uniquely bad mixture of whatever it is they put in there. Can't stand it.

This scent reminds me of EA Sunflowers and CK Escape. Very aquatic feeling and almost captures summer time for me. I know for many it's an HG scent anytime of the year. For me, the citrus I smell has such a cool heady tone that it's almost too much. I wish this were tweaked a little to bring in some interesting warmth. All the LE summer editions are all the same usually alcohol free.

It's so over-rated. I honestly don't think it's that nice at all. Well to each its own I guess. Definitely not for me.

I used to love it and wear it all the time, but I so did everyone else at the time! I guess I got bored with it. When I smell it now, I still like the freshness of it, I'd recognise it anywere.

I wear this scent as a jewelry. I Have no words to describe how wonderfull I feel myself wearing it! It is one of my favourites!

It's safe and clean..i use it infrequently. It's not quite my cup of tea

I like this scent. It's fresh and light, but not teen, it's very classy and feminine. Staying power is great. I also like the bottle, it's simple & unique.

I love how it wears on my skin - floral but crisp with the water notes nicely pronounced. I prefer the EDP; the EDT is noticeable lighter and doesn't last as long.

It's very fresh and clean for me. So modern. But not for me. I didn't like it when I smell it.

My mother wears this and it seems very safe and fresh.

Very nice and fresh on my friend. Not for me, I preffer warmer perfumes.

Brings lasting freshness with sweet flavuors, and explosions of joy.
One of my favoured for a good mood :)
