This 2009, the Limited Editions of the L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme and Pour Homme Intense had them encasing the bottles in real concrete, playfully merging Fashion and Design with Art, and calling them the “On the Rock” edition. This inventiveness and whimsical nature is also evident in how Miyake first called his fragrances L’Eau d’Issey, a play on the word “odyssey.” No real change in the scents, as they’re signature scents of the line, but the novel packaging gives us something new. His Eau d’Ete Summer Editions have always been favorites, as they’re lighter, fresher and more appropriate for tropical weather. This year, the transparent bottles and multi-colored letterings wonderfully scream “Summer,” reflecting the hues of a vibrant garden. The one for Men has top notes of Yuzu and Mandarin Orange, with shades of Cardamom and Sage, balanced by Vetiver and Ambergris. And the Ladies’ version is a veritable bottled floral bouquet, with head notes of Lotus, Freesia, Cyclamen, Carnations, Peonies and White Lilies, tempered by base notes of Amberseed and White Musk.
Shiseido as producing the Miyake fragrance line, and one new product of Shiseido Men, is the Facial Contour Refiner — something all us aging specimens should take into consideration. If the five main age-related changes are sagging skin, loss of firmness, double chin, dry skin and fine lines around the eyes, the Contour Refiner, a high performance emulsion, is ready to help us combat the first three of these changes. It contains Yeast Extract, which enhances the tightening of collagen fibers — collagen being the one that keeps our skin resilient and firm. There are also Vitamin E derivatives that help keep our face moisturized and healthy-looking.
Miyake and Shiseido, a great partnership in the fragrances category, and definitely worth checking out!
