Issey Miyake L'eau D'issey Solar Violet Intense Eau de Toilette 50ml Spray Bruno Banani Two fingers' worth covers face

Two fingers' worth covers face and neck

Skip if you're after fragrance projection — this one stays close

The base is amber and tonka

Good for someone who wants fragrance that announces itself without apology

Issey Miyake L'eau D'issey Solar Violet Intense Eau de Toilette 50ml Spray Bruno Banani Two fingers' worth covers faceViolet and solar musk are the headline that powdery, almost soapy warmth that doesn't read floral so much as clean skin but make it glow. Issey has dialled back the aquatic freshness of the original and pushed the amber musk base so it sits closer to skin. 50ml EDT. Two to three sprays hold soft through the day, closer to a second skin scent than something that announces itself. Reapplies cleanly mid afternoon if you want the lift.
