L’eau Bleue D’Issey is a fragrance by Issey Miyake which was released back in 2004. It comes in a large, carved out glass bottle with a plastic metallic top.
It’s quite a strange scent when you first smell it, a combination of fresh, green spicy notes are combined with a woody aroma, which makes it slightly manly but also citrus flavour. The citrus and fresh odour make it a good choice for day time in the spring or summer, I can see it being worn in a summer afternoon in a beer garden somewhere. It’s quite a strong, potent fragrance, and the spray is large and wide, so there is no need to over-use or over-spray this one. If you’re looking for a spicy but citrus scent for the summer, and want something not too many people will be wearing, this is worth considering.
