Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Review

Received the 100ml EDT as a gift four months ago. Not what I would normally choose, but I really love it. It is not like any other perfume I have smelt - very distinctive.

It is very fresh, floral and crisp - not sweet. It lasts through the day.

Love the shape of the bottle and the diamond shaped packaging.

When it runs out I will re-purchase it myself. Reasonably priced.

I find this perfume to be fresh with a strong floral undertone. A good clean fragrance but not a sultry one. Didn't seem to last on me even though it was an EDP.

I adore this scent. I was given the 75ml as a gift. I have worn it every day since! Now that I am almost finished it, I probably won't buy the large bottle as it is one of the expensive perfumes. I will also only wear the scent for special occasions to make it last. It is light, fresh and not overpowering at all. I love the bottle - very distinctive. People often comment on the scent too which proves it lasts a good while on. (Crossing my fingers it's in my Santa sack this year!!!)

I bought my first bottle of this perfume about 3 years ago and I fell in love with it. Its a bit similar to the Elie Saab fragrance but not as intense. I could definitely get away with wearing it on a daily basis because its not too strong. It usually lasts the whole day on me and I do wear it quite often. The only thing I don't like about this is the price. This is probably the most expensive perfume have so I dread the day I run out of it. However if you want a light non-fruity or floral fragrance, this is definitely worth getting if you have the money to spend.

A little goes a long way with this fragrance, it is long lasting with a decent amount of sillage. So I would recommend sampling it first on your skin. I find it wonderfully fresh, ozonic and quite mineral at the beginning and then dries down to a fresh floral (freesias and lilies) and then at the end, some sandalwood. As with most people, each perfume evokes certain memories and this one is no different. As a teenager, this was my first 'grown up' scent - while everyone else was dousing themselves in CKOne, I was falling in love with Issey Miyake and his aesthetic. Years later, L'eau d'Issey (100mL) is always a definite repurchase for me.

I love the issey Miyake perfumes. I have two now and find them very refreshing in smell. I was very fortunate to receive one of mine as a gift and have only 1/4 left. I have had mine for over 5 years and feel the smells last for hours. They are quite pricey for perfumes and would not buy them if they were not on special (who doesn't like a good bargain). I find the lasting powers to not be as long as my other perfumes as they are eau de toilettes and not eau de parfum's. I

I got this perfume in a sample set from Farmers, variations of which they do every year around Christmas. The set comes with 10 sample sized perfumes and a voucher to redeem for one of the perfumes in a full size (usually 30ml). I bought this to get out of my comfort zone somewhat with perfume as I rotate between two favourites, one of which was included in the set. I have in the past been pleasantly surprised by perfumes when I have put looks aside (I always judge a perfume by the bottle, bad I know), so I set about testing each sample.

Each sample is from 0.8 -1.0 ml, which I found enough for about a week of wear. I’m quite picky about what I do and don’t like, and first impressions are important for a perfume!

Unfortunately I am not a fan of this scent. While not unpleasant, it reminds me of a body spray like Impulse, which is not what I look for when purchasing a luxury fragrance. It was not sickly sweet, just quite fresh smelling and I prefer a more statement scent. It was subtle, clean and astringent but somehow still a little cloying. I don't get floral from this but I do get aqautic - it smells clean and fresh but not sophisticated or sexy enough for me to buy a full size. I'd liken it to the smell of clean sheets - which I am not a fan of.

One day I took a chance of purchasing this fragrance as I loved the initial smell of it as it reminded me of that "just stepping out a shower" smell. Normally I do not buy EDT but this one had a clean, floral undertone to the smell. Not long after using for the first few times I kicked myself for breaking my golden rule of only buying EDP, if this was a EDP it would have been more suitable. I could not tell or smell the fragrance after it had "calmed" due to the fact it was gone. Normally with fragrances you can still smell either hints or subtle tones but with this I could not. Initially it was a lovely fragrance but I would not buy again, unfortunate though as it is a lovely smell - just doesn't last long.

This was my first perfume as a teen and I fell in love with it's sweet fresh scent. It is the only fragrant of the Issey Miyake range that i will purchase as the others are a bit strong. This fragrance lasts for hours! One spray goes a long way with this product, which is excellent because you will not run out fast. The sweet but fresh scent is excellent for special occasions, clubbing or other events. I loved my first bottle that i wore it every day and everywhere, then second bottle I learned that it was perfect on occasions and clubbing.

I have had the great joy of purchasing this whilst travelling through duty free, Its subtle notes leaves a fresh all over scent that certainly turns heads! several variances of this perfume make it a stand out pleaser, meaning its perfect for both night and day functions, without overpowering the nose. Its bottle sizes make a great travel perfume, and its sleek design makes it a beautiful addition to any counter. as further mentioned its scent is uplifting, woody and fresh. its price certainly reflects quality in this product,
