The fragrance of summer
Summer, the Miyake way
Breaking away from the brand’s usually Spartan aesthetic, Issey Miyake delivers a poetic, free-spirited blend of tender florals and juicy fruits. Rose water harmoniously blends with pear notes in a slightly acidic overture, warmed up by a core of peony, carnation and precious woods. Gentle and uplifting.

1969, the erotic fragrance
An homage to sexual freedom, the conquest of the moon, Woodstock, the Beatles and Franco’s fall, 1969, by Histoires de Parfums evokes and symbolises the birth of a new world order. Voraciously oriental, unabashedly mysterious and tantalisingly voluptuous, it blends white florals with the hypnotic notes of chocolate, coffee and exotic spices. A whole new experience.
