Issey Miyak thought about creating a perfume that was as clear as spring water combining the spray of a waterfall the fragrance of flowers and the scent of springtime forest. L'Eau d'Issey achieved an enormous popularity especially in the United States in the 1990s. L'Eau d'Issey is an aquatic floral scent with transparent notes of lotus freesia and cyclamen and juicy melon. The middle note of peony lily and carnation reveals the perfume's character. The end note is a refined woody scent with the notes of cedar sandal musk and amber. It was created in 1992 by Jacques Cavallier.
