Issey Miyake A Drop d'Issey was launched in 2021 Created by Ane Ayo. I tested this and oh it is big and strong lilac and almond to my nose. Notes are Almond Milk, Damask rose, Lilac, Solar Notes, Star Anise, orange blossom, muskm vanilla, ambroxan and Atlas cedar. A floral and solar feminine fragrance. This is an EDP
From the Brand - "Look at the world from a new perspective with a drop d'Issey Eau de Parfum and see the hidden beauty of nature. Enlighten your mood with a wildly feminine composition: an enveloping solar bouquet of lilac with a musky note and an almond milk facet. Follow a drop in its journey through nature. In a transparent droplet, the drop loses its shape, then takes on a new one. It flattens out, then bounces back. it reflects, rebounds, and changes your perspective. The pure, round-shaped bottle combines the simplicity of a perfect, poetic shape with the deliberately tactile facet of the bottle in a single piece. Like a mirror and magnifying glass, it makes way for dreams, for poetry, and fantasy."
Fragrantica - "Smells like fresh laundry or going outside on a sunny spring day and walk by some lilacs."
Fragrantica - "I forgot how longlasting this is. Can still smell it on clothes the next day. It is beautiful, rather strong lilac scent. The combination with the milky almond note makes it quite distinctive. I cannot wear it often because it is not an easy reach but when I am in the mood for it I truely enjoy it."
Fragrantica - "i’ve been eyeing this perfume for 2 years and i’m very happy with my blind buy. the initial spray is a soft musk and vanilla. with florals developing over the course of 30 minutes starting with the rose and then into the creamy lilac. i can smell a faint sweet lactonic note developing as well and settling over, blending everything together. love this scent and i will be wearing it daily for spring."
Fragrantica - "a drop d'issey was my first non-gourmand perfume and it did not disappoint at all. this is a perfect transition between floral and a comforting musk, and this scent makes the lilac smell so so so creamy. i love wearing this on rainy days. it's warm and refreshing at the same time. this is the perfect spring scent."
Fragrantica - "PERFECT spring scent for lilac lovers. Smells like fresh lilacs with a hint of almond milk. A little bit lactonic and slightly sweet but overall smells like a dewy spring morning. 100/10, recommend."
Fragrantica - "A Drop d'Issey is perfection. Lilacs dripping in almond milk, it smells like a fancy lotion. There's a touch of anise in the mix, too. It's got a sunny feel, and an overall vibe that you're smelling your lilac flowers straight after a spring shower when the sun is peeking out, birds are chirping, and the day is young. Perfect for spring, but the fraiche version is better suited for warm summer. Fun bottle, too, just a pain to store as it doesn't stand upright."
