Although L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme is designed for men, it feels fresh, juicy and uplifting at first so it would easily appeal to all genders. As the fragrance develops, it begins to feel more traditionally masculine. With its extended, monolithic design, IGO pays homage to the look of the iconic l'Eau d'Issey bottle: a cone, a sphere, a base that stretches skywards topped with a ball that seems to be suspended. Miyake was born in Hiroshima in 1938, and was a witness and survivor of the atomic bombing of the city during World War II. After studying graphic design at Tama Art University in Tokyo, Mikyake went on to work for some of the most famous couturiers of the 1960s. A move to Paris led to work for Guy Laroche and Givenchy. Another move to New York brought the opportunity to design ready-to-wear for Geoffrey Beene. Miyake returned to Tokyo in 1970, founded the Miyake Design Studio and began producing women's fashions. The fragrance within remains unchanged; created by Jacques Cavallier, the water-inspired scent feels instantly fresh, light, crisp and sweet as you breathe it in. It opens with aquatic lotus and delicate rose before lily blends with a flurry of fresh florals for a sweet, pretty feminine heart. Finally, a base of precious woods creates a comforting, sensual tone.If you’re a fan of the original L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme, then IGO is made for you.
