L'Eau d'Issey Pure
L'Eau d'Issey Pure by Issey Miyake is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2016 in the designer price tier. It opens with marine accord, moves into jasmine, orange blossom and damask rose and dries down to ambergris and cashmere wood. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects softly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Marine Accord Generic 'ocean' — salt, air and water. Clean and uncomplicated.
Heart
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
- Damask Rose The rich, jammy, honeyed rose. Deep and slightly wine-like.
Dry-down
- Ambergris Salty, animal, sun-warmed skin. Marine and musky at once.
- Cashmere Wood Soft, fuzzy, slightly musky wood. Adds a blurred warmth.
