L'Eau d'Issey City Blossom
by Issey Miyake
A light, clean, and fresh floral with a subtle citrus and ozonic opening, City Blossom leans heavily into a delicate, green-floral character with a soft musk and honeyed base. It delivers a minimal, understated scent—ideal for daytime wear, particularly in spring and summer. The fragrance blooms quickly with a sharp, green-tinged opening that some find overly bright or metallic, though others describe it as quietly refreshing. On skin, it evolves into a finer, almost soapy floral with a faint sweetness and soft musk that feels gentle rather than bold. Noted for its moderate longevity and moderate sillage, it appeals most to those seeking a quiet, unfussy scent for personal or casual settings rather than powerful presence. The perfume is perceived as generic and lacking depth by some, while others appreciate its simplicity and clean finish.
