A Drop d'Issey
Issey Miyake A Drop d'Issey is built on lilac, a flower that cannot be extracted and therefore has to be reconstructed entirely, and the almond milk around it is what makes the whole thing work.
Almond milk and Damascus rose open it. The almond milk is a texture more than a scent, soft and creamy and faintly sweet, and the rose beside it is bright and lemony rather than jammy.
Lilac leads the heart with jasmine, star anise and orange blossom. Lilac is powdery, green and slightly soapy, and the star anise is the clever addition: cool and liquorice-like, it gives the flower an edge and keeps the middle from being merely pretty.
Musk, vanilla, ambroxan and atlas cedar finish it. Ambroxan supplies a clean mineral reach, vanilla a soft warmth, and the cedar keeps it dry. The base extends the creaminess of the opening rather than contrasting with it.
How A Drop d'Issey wears
It lasts a long time and projects moderately. It works across the seasons and suits daytime as readily as an evening.
Issey Miyake A Drop d'Issey Eau de Parfum, launched in 2021 by Issey Miyake, the Japanese label founded in 1970.
