From Issey Miyake, L'Eau d'Issey Solar Violet opens on juicy pear, bright and a touch watery. Violet takes over through the heart, soft and slightly powdery rather than sharp. Iris closes it, cool and a little dusty, giving the whole thing a fresh, aquatic-floral feel with a woody hint underneath. Released in 2024, it is worn by women who like pale florals with light rather than heavy weight. Voters keep it for spring, worn by day and at the office, an easy choice for work. The vote calls it moderate for longevity and moderate again for sillage, present without demanding attention. A 3ml decant gets you through a week at your desk, time enough to weigh up the bottle.

The community verdict
Fresh and powdery, L'Eau d'Issey Solar Violet moves from pear to violet and an iris base. Most find its wear time and projection moderate, though some find it fades fairly soon or stays close to the skin. Its gentle floral feel fits spring days, with summer and office wear also working well.

The house
More from Issey Miyake
Issey Miyake founded his Japanese design house in 1970, and its perfumes carry his taste for clean lines and simple materials. The first L'Eau d'Issey, in 1992, built a scent around the idea of water, and that clear, watery feel still runs through the range. Expect yuzu, bergamot and mandarin up top, calone and lotus for the aquatic lift, then cedar, vetiver and sandalwood below. Start with L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme, bright citrus with a fresh, aromatic spice. Nuit d’Issey Parfum is the evening choice, with leather, patchouli and vanilla. L'Eau d'Issey itself stays floral and light. Jacques Cavallier is one of the perfumers whose work you will find in this line.
