When I think about elegance in a bottle I immediately think about Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey.
The bottle is a frosted tower. It isn't over the top with it's packaging because the perfume itself speaks volumes.
The scent reminds me of spring. I think about new beginnings, the spring morning dew, a meadow in the midst of giant mountains. I think about all that is good in the world. It's fair to say when I wear this perfume I go to my happy place.
It is a rosy scent with a very, very subtle earthy tone. Though the perfume itself isn't subtle at all. The perfume will stay on you for hours so you hardly need to touch up.
As it is pricey (and worth it) I only wear it on special occasions, so that I can prolong the life of my bottle.
I'm not the kind of person who stops people in the street to ask where they got that dress! But as soon as I caught the sent of Issey Miyake I knew it had to be in my life, so I asked. This was quite a number of years ago and I still have to have a bottle in my cupboard, my favourite even though I buy other perfumes occasionally, it's nice to surprise people, they don't know it's me coming by my perfume.
Tips: I know the light floral scent is not for everybody so of course wouldn't recommend it to everyone. It does last the day without changing or getting oppressive.
