A Scent
Issey Miyake's A Scent Eau de Toilette is a fresh, refined fragrance with a clean, green-citrus character that feels light and airy from the first moment. Its opening is bright and sparkling, carried by a lively citrus and herbal freshness, while a soft jasmine heart brings a delicate white floral sweetness that rounds out the composition without weighing it down. As the scent settles, a gentle woody dryness from cedarwood lends structure and a quiet, understated warmth to the base.
The overall mood is calm and uplifting, the kind of scent that feels like a breath of fresh air. It suits a wide range of settings, from busy working days and professional environments to casual outings and evenings out. Its clean, versatile profile makes it easy to wear across spring, summer, autumn and winter, though its lightness particularly suits the warmer months and daytime wear.
In terms of how it wears, A Scent sits moderately close to the skin and generally carries with a pleasant, measured presence. Its longevity is rated as long lasting, so it tends to stay with you comfortably through a full day.

The Composition
A Scent Eau de Toilette 30ml by Issey Miyake is structured with layered accords that give the composition both clarity and controlled depth. The structure feels deliberate rather than excessive, moving with balance from its initial impression into a more grounded and composed core.
The opening is defined by Lemon Verbena , delivering brightness and immediate lift while establishing the tonal direction of the fragrance.
As it develops, the heart introduces Jasmine, Lemon Verbena , creating a more textured centre. The transition remains smooth, allowing each note to emerge without disrupting the overall balance of the structure.
The base settles into Cedarwood , providing cohesion and depth to the drydown while maintaining continuity with the freshness established in the opening.
Shaped with clarity and structural precision from first impression through to drydown.
