Issey Miyake Parfums recently announced the arrival of its new feminine fragrance, Lumière d’Issey, and in the short time it’s been available, it has already captured the hearts of beauty enthusiasts and experts worldwide.
Conceived around the idea of wearing light, Lumière d’Issey is a luminous, radiant eau de parfum that pays homage to the infinite optimism of sunlit mornings.
The fragrance opens with a sparkling burst of organic green mandarin and neroli, before a warm floral heart of solar orange blossom and airy freesia unfolds. The dry-down reveals a sensual, creamy base of pistachio wood accord and natural sandalwood, evoking Mediterranean warmth and golden-hour radiance.
But it’s not just the scent that’s captured our attention. The bottle is equally exquisite. A true sculptural object, the Lumière d’Issey bottle allows light to travel through its triangular facets, conjuring a sense of energy and movement.
The transparency of the glass reveals the purity and brightness within, and the juice itself is inked with a delicate solar ink, lending the composition a luminous presence on the shelf and on the skin.
Our editor fell in love with this fragrance from the very first spritz.
“I’ve used and loved many Issey Miyake fragrances throughout the years, but honestly, this has to be my favourite. Floral, ambery, and ultra-luminous, this fragrance exudes positivity.
I love its sunshiny brightness. It feels light and airy, and the fragrance notes are warm on my skin. It’s an uplifting fragrance, and I’ve found it particularly mood-boosting on grey, rainy winter days.
For me, this fragrance transcends age, seasons and trends. It feels like a modern-day classic. One that you, your mom, and your gran would all appreciate. I love how warm it feels in winter, but in summer, it’s going to be the perfect scent to complement longer, sunny days.
I love that this fragrance is vegan and comprises 90% natural-origin ingredients. Also, my 100ml bottle is refillable, which is kinder to the environment and to your pocket.
This is a multifaceted fragrance that feels warm and radiant from the very first spritz in the morning, all the way through to the end of the day. I simply adore it.” Anien – Editor
