The formula is 82% of natural origin and certified vegan, presented in the line's iconic faceted dewdrop flacon.
About Issey Miyake
Issey Miyake is a Japanese fashion house founded by designer Issey Miyake in 1970, internationally celebrated for innovation, pleating and a quietly poetic aesthetic. Its perfumery, launched in 1992 with the iconic L'Eau d'Issey, helped define the modern aquatic-floral genre and remains its signature olfactory territory. A Drop d'Issey is the brand's most recent feminine pillar, with Essentielle as its luminous, more floral interpretation.

The story behind A Drop d'Issey Essentielle
Inspired by a single drop of dew on a flower at first light, Essentielle is conceived as the most transparent and natural-feeling expression of A Drop d'Issey — a soft, watery floral that wears close to the skin. The lilac-magnolia accord at its core gives a fresh, just-cut floral character, while the high natural-origin ratio and vegan formulation continue Issey Miyake's commitment to clean modern perfumery.
Who it's for
Suited to wearers who love quiet, dewy, watery florals — fans of L'Eau d'Issey, Marc Jacobs Daisy or Kenzo Flower in the Air will find Essentielle a familiar match. Best in spring and summer; ideal for daytime, work and warm-weather wear.
How to wear it
- Spray onto pulse points — wrists, base of the throat, behind the ears — from around 15cm.
- Two to three sprays for daytime; build up gently for longer wear.
- Apply over an unscented body lotion to extend longevity on skin.
