Founded in Tokyo in 1970 by Issey Miyake, the house was initially built around experimental fashion designed for movement and accessible to as many people as possible. After its international debuts in New York in 1971 and Paris in 1973, it opened its first Paris boutique in 1975. In 1992, it extended this universe into fragrance with L’Eau d’Issey, developed with BPI in France.
In fragrance, Issey Miyake translates its approach to clothing into a refined, minimalist language guided by water, material and the relationship with the body. Creative direction remains overseen by the Miyake Design Studio, from concept to bottle. The first bottle was inspired by a full moon above the Eiffel Tower, with a restrained and sculptural aesthetic.
Issey Miyake fragrances are all sold out at Fragsplit right now.
