Green MandarinLumière d'Issey
Issey Miyake Lumière d'Issey is built on four materials and the unusual one is pistachio.
Green mandarin opens it alone, tart and slightly unripe rather than sweet, and it is the only citrus in the composition.
Orange blossom is the only flower, placed by itself in the heart. Soft and faintly honeyed, it bridges the sharp opening and the base without drawing attention to itself.
Pistachio in the base is what makes the fragrance distinctive. It is nutty, green and a little milky, and sitting it against sandalwood produces something creamy and soft that reads as warm without being sweet. Pistachio is rare in perfumery and almost never used as a base material.
How Lumière d'Issey wears
Moderate longevity and moderate projection, staying close to the skin and lasting a working day. It suits warm weather and daytime, which is consistent with the rest of the house.
Issey Miyake Lumière d'Issey Eau de Parfum, launched in 2026 by Issey Miyake, the Japanese label founded in 1970.
