The Issey Miyake A Drop d'Issey Gift Set bundles 90ml of A Drop d'Issey Eau de Parfum Fraîche with a 50ml matching Moisturising Hand Cream. Composed by Givaudan perfumer Ane Ayo and launched in 2022, A Drop d'Issey Fraîche pairs a fresh "rain" accord with lilac, damask rose and watery notes, drying down on a soft Ambrox Super, Dreamwood and Virginia cedar base.
About Issey Miyake
Issey Miyake is a Japanese fashion house founded by the designer in Tokyo in 1970, internationally known for its pleated couture and architectural minimalism. The fragrance line, produced under Puig, has been one of the most influential in modern aquatic perfumery — defined first by L'Eau d'Issey in 1992 and continued through the A Drop d'Issey collection. The "Fraîche" Eau de Parfum is the brand's lighter, fresher chapter of the original 2021 A Drop d'Issey.

What's in the gift set
- A Drop d'Issey Eau de Parfum Fraîche 90ml: the full fragrance for skin, with crisp projection and easy daily wear
- A Drop d'Issey Moisturising Hand Cream 50ml: a matching scented hand cream that layers the same accord into a daily care routine
The story behind the Fraîche
The original A Drop d'Issey was conceived around the meeting of cosmic ideas and floral nature; the Fraîche version dials up the watery freshness with a fragrance described by the brand as the scent of "rain falling on lilac and rose petals." The result is fresher and more luminous than the original — a daytime-friendly version of the same delicate floral structure.
Who it's for
Best for women drawn to soft, fresh-floral aquatic compositions — natural territory for fans of L'Eau d'Issey, Marc Jacobs Daisy or Chloé Eau de Parfum. The Ambrox-and-cedar drydown gives it grown-up character and good staying power; the rain-and-lilac opening keeps it crisp enough for spring, summer and warm-weather wear. A thoughtful gift for someone refreshing their fragrance wardrobe with a clean, modern signature.
How to use the set
- Spray the Eau de Parfum onto pulse points — wrists, behind the ears, the base of the throat — from around 15 cm away.
- Apply the Moisturising Hand Cream to clean dry hands; massage in until absorbed.
- Layering the matching hand cream extends the fragrance through the day in a softer way.
