L'Eau d'Issey

Eau de Toilette

There is a particular kind of present you buy for a mother, an aunt or a godmother, and L'Eau d'Issey Eau de Toilette Gift Set, from Issey Miyake, is close to the centre of it. The scent has been worn for decades by exactly that generation, and it has aged better than most of what was on counters alongside it. It is built from two materials only. Lotus gives it the cool, watery, faintly green character that made it famous, and rose provides a pale softness underneath, barely sweet, more suggestion than statement.

What recommends it as a gift is how little it demands. It does not need the right occasion or the right weather. It sits well on older skin, where heavier compositions often turn sour, and it is light enough to wear indoors all day without becoming tiresome to anyone nearby.

The set arrives boxed and ready to give, which takes care of presentation, and the eau de toilette concentration means the scent is comfortable rather than insistent. For a birthday, a Mother's Day, or a thank you that needs to look like more than an afterthought, it is an easy decision.

There is one more thing worth saying. A short composition like this, two materials held steadily, is unusually easy to live with. Nothing unexpected develops in the afternoon and nothing has to be learned. A person can simply put it on and get on with the day, and there is something to be said for a present that makes no demands at all.

The company behind it is Japanese and better known for clothes than for scent. Issey Miyake set up his design studio in 1970 and the business was incorporated in 1971, working from Shibuya in Tokyo, and fragrance followed in 1992.

Bright Crystal Eau de Toilette Gift Set

Issey Miyake Parfums is a collection that was co-developed with Beauté Prestige International in France. The first fragrance, L'Eau d'Issey was born in 1992. The idea for this scent, whose name means ‘water’, was conceived of by Miyake, who saw water as both the greatest material, as well as the greatest source for inspiration. It has had a remarkable influence upon the world of perfume.

The Miyake Design Studio supervises the creative direction for the fragrance at every stage, from the initial concept to bottle design, naming, graphics, package design, marketing tools, and publicity.

Issey Miyake’s philosophy has never deviated. His goals are to create fragrances that convey a message, to inspire people with hope for a bright future, to present simple yet functional bottle designs that are at once accessible and universal, while never losing a sense of wonder. As with our clothing design, we continue to create new fragrances that are not only pertinent to our lifestyles, but are also founded in pure essentials.
