Issey Miyake L’Eau d’Issey Eau & Magnolia Eau de Toilette Intense
Issey Miyake L’Eau d’Issey Eau & Magnolia Eau de Toilette Intense
To celebrate this fragrance’s 30th birthday, a beautifully delicate new edition has been launched. Sitting alongside the scent’s fresh, watery signature accord is a new, suitably silky magnolia note, which brings a dewy, floral, light-filled loveliness to the fragrance. Fans of the original will absolutely love L’Eau d’Issey Eau & Magnolia.
A modern classic. This skin-like scent is one that’s perfect for every day. There’s a creamy mellowness at its heart, with ambrox (a synthetic musk) paired with a pinch of iris, and sparkly pink pepper. In layman’s terms? This is clean, soft, holiday-scented skin that smells comforting and familiar (even if you haven’t sniffed it before).

This fragrance is almost poetic in its inspiration. It hopes to evoke the scent of flowers in a walled English garden after the rain of a passing thunderstorm – all dewy, fragrant, gorgeousness – and wow, does it.
We first get a hit of the rain’s watery freshness captured in lemon and pear. Then, with the sun now high in the sky, it draws out the heady warmth of jasmine and tuberose that lasts well into the evening thanks to orris, musk, patchouli and moss.
The iconic musk note for which Narciso Rodriguez fragrances are known and loved has been well and truly ‘summered’ in this new edition of Narciso Eau de Parfum. Inspired by the radiance and luminosity of crystal, the musky base is lifted with a bright bergamot opening atop a dreamy rose and white flower heart.

Vibrant and moreishly sweet, this puts sunshine in our steps. If the original La Vie Est Belle is a touch too heady, the addition of coconuts lend a creamier facet to this new version. It still creates an impact, so save it for the evenings or whenever you want to feel a little extra.
GH beauty editor Gillian Davies is never too far from a bottle of Gypsy Water. “I adore this complex scent which I wear year-round; it has depth created by some very heady notes in the form of amber and sandalwood but it isn’t at all overwhelming,” says Gillian.
“I’ve never been a huge fan of super light citrusy, floral perfumes you’d associate with summer,” says Digital Writer Elena Chabo. “Instead ginger takes the lead in this fragrance, balanced with gentle rose, rounded with honey-amber accord but without heavy base-notes. It results in a sensual warmth and depth I like in a fragrance, but still with a light-hearted energy perfect for summer evenings.”
How to make juicy strawberries smell modern and grown-up? The clever folks at Malin + Goetz threw in some vibrant bergamot, aromatic pink pepper and balanced it with warm musks and jasmine. Voila, a full-bodied strawberry with plenty of depth.
