L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Summer Edition by Kevin Lucbert
by Issey Miyake
L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Summer Edition by Kevin Lucbert is a refined, green-woody aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of a Mediterranean forest in summer. It opens with a crisp, watery citrus that quickly shifts into a luminous herbal and coniferous core, blending bergamot, lemon, eucalyptus, and basil with balsam fir, cypress, and pine. The composition is naturally understated, delicate, and highly cohesive—its green character is vibrant yet smooth, avoiding any harsh or medicinal notes. The drydown reveals a soft, resinous woody veil with mild jasmine and a hint of sweet lemon sherbet, making it feel both natural and subtly enchanting. Ideal for daytime wear in warm weather, it lingers pleasantly on skin and clothing, though its sillage and longevity are notably moderate, requiring reapplication for stronger presence.
