L'Eau d'Issey Issey Miyake 1992 Eau de Toilette

I have known this scent for a long time. It is as familiar to me as my two old friends. The two are visually and internally as different as night and day: one is blonde, blue-eyed, and of cool intelligence, while the other has dark hair, brown eyes, and is strongly emotional. And they have both been wearing this scent for years. And it suits them! How is that? Perhaps it is not about the qualities of these wonderful women, but about the longing that connects them: a longing for harmony and inner peace? Because it is exactly THIS SCENT that can soothe that longing. It reminds me of the almost perfect tranquility of a sun-drenched winter day, when the air is filled with a very special soft music. A delicate melody in minor, composed of white flowers, where lily of the valley and carnation play the first violins. The warm woody notes gently envelop them, protecting against icy cold, as the delicate blooms lie in the snow. So pure. So still. So fresh. So unique.
It is not my scent, as it does not exude fire, but I must give it credit: it has its own face. This cool visage is neither angelic nor reserved, but marked by a rare balance. A scent for the woman who seeks her inner peace.
Or simply wishes for a fresh-floral perfume.
A small note at the end: Although this scent smells so fresh, it is not really suitable for the office. Some people, especially men, may have a hard time with L'Eau d'Issey. The main reason for this is probably the lily of the valley: its scent can trigger headaches in sensitive individuals.
