clean green lilac over cool musky skin

Issey Miyake is a Japanese heritage designer house whose fragrance line is defined by a clean-aquatic, minimalist-modern signature (the L'Eau d'Issey line launched in 1992 helped establish the aquatic genre). The catalogue is heavily fresh (17 of 27) with floral (5) and gourmand (2) flankers. The range leans masculine (13) then feminine (11). Prices sit in the designer band, about $16 to $160, most pieces near $70. Top accords are fresh, synthetic, woody, spicy and floral. Standout live picks: Nuit d'Issey Bois Arctic (fresh citrus and basil with smoky tobacco, $132), Le Sel d'Issey (cool sea breeze with ginger bite and cedar, $135), L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Yuzu (bright yuzu citrus with cool cedar breeze, $160), L'Eau Bleue d'Issey Pour Homme (cool citrus sea breeze with rosemary and cedar, $41.87), Le Sel d'Issey Parfum (salty ocean air with dark woods, $93.09).
