Issey Miyake, like any designer perfume brand, started with clothing. Issey Miyake debuted his first collection in 1971 in New York. Issey Miyake pushed the envelope between Eastern and Western fashion by focusing on the body, the cloth covering it, as a guiding principle, which shocked and resonated with people all over the globe.
Issey Miyake started his first perfume line in collaboration with perfumer Jacques Cavallier in 1992. L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme (for men) was out in 1994 and was a direct competitor to the original fragrance. Beginning in 2007, Issey Miyake released an annual limited edition women’s fragrance for which he collaborated with a guest perfumer.
It all began with Issey Miyake’s perspective on water as a substance, and the resulting scent changed the face of the perfume industry forever. These scents are made using the same ideas as Issey Miyake’s apparel design: to consistently deliver new smells that are appropriate for modern living and are founded on the idea of seeking one’s real nature.
Pleats Please
Most Popular Pick
Issey Miyake released a new fragrance for ladies in September 2012. Pleats Please was named after the 1993 fashion line of pleated fabrics and bright hues. The nose behind the iconic scent was Aurelien Guichard.
It opens with the Asian mixed fruit Nashi, created by crossing apples and pears. The heart symbolizes femininity with peony and sweet pea floral accords, while the Indole molecule adds freshness.

L’Eau d’Issey City Blossom
Casual Floral
This new fragrance by Issey Miyake, L’Eau d’Issey City Blossom, is a limited edition flanker of the original L’Eau d’Issey from 1992. Fragrance designer Alberto Morillas gave the feminine L’Eau d’Issey City Blossom a blend of floral and woodsy notes.
Opening with a zing of lemon and pink pepper, the scent is a breath of fresh air. The floral core blends magnolia and freesia, with the latter serving as the dominant floral scent. As the scent fades, a woodsy muskiness emerges, yet the freesia remains, giving the perfume a softer floral undertone.
