Water lilies
l'Eau d'Issey is one of the most iconic scents of the nineties. Heavy and light at the same time, immediately recognizable and in my case a serious 'memory-trigger'.
A brief aqua-mineral freshness is immediately followed by a heavy floral bouquet. While florals in all thinkable colors seem present, the emphasis is on the whiter shades of lotus and lily-of-the-valley. The whole is supported by a layer of fresh musk and a light woody base. Just picture a Japanese lotus pond in a Zen garden.
Bold and impressive in terms of projection and duration. Consequently, it gets severely nauseating when oversprayed by even the tiniest amount, yet incredibly seductive when applied in moderation.
Although I am a very fond of wearing the white floral genre myself, I abstain from this one only to keep intact the personal memories it triggers. Except for a sporadic moment of sentimental mood, like today.
