L’Eau d’Issey Pure Nectar de Parfum is the beautiful new
spring-time scent from Issey Miyake.
This delightful, fruity-floral scent is the third edition to
launch from the iconic brand.
Retaining the original concept that at the source of L’Eau d’Issey
there is a single, rare drop of water in its purest form, Pure Nectar is a
representation of the process that results in a flower’s precious nectar.
“Nectar is the
ultimate stage in the metamorphosis of water, from sea to dew and from dew to rose.
A petal turns into a
blossoming flower, yielding a drop that captures its purest perfume... its
nectar.... and dew turns into nectar.”
Indeed its concept of a single ‘drop’ is once again
reflected in the appearance of its tall, elegant tear-shaped bottle.
Its exquisite copper and rose gold hues have been
purposefully used not just to create a stunning vessel but to reflect the
radiant rose nectar within.
It really is the most gorgeous bottle, both in its sleek and
chic shape and its eye catching, warm and stunning tones.
It is so much more than just its bottle though. This
fragrance is literally like spring captured.
Pure Nectar opens with notes of soft, sweet, tender pear
drenched in golden, delicate, aromatic honey.
This sweet freshness gives way to heart notes of dew-pearled
rose petals, sweet and soft and instantly recognisable as a beautiful floral
boutique.
Base notes of creamy Sandalwood then blend seamlessly with
sandy and salty ambergris to create a succulent and soft experience while cashmeran
accord rounds off the scent with the signature Eau d’Issey note.
I love the complexity of this fragrance.
It somehow manages to be both fruity and floral, light and
creamy, bewitching yet breezy and undeniably delicately feminine.
It is a fragrance that exudes new beginnings, new life and
in essence, spring.
It is a beautiful perfume to look at as well as to wear and
is nothing short of enchanting.
The delightful Issey Miyake L’Eau d’Issey Pure Nectar is
available now and costs £77.50 for 90ml from The Fragrance Shop.
