The paired fragrances L'Eau d'Issey Shades of Kolam by Issey Miyake emerged as the result of an extraordinary journey and unprecedented collaboration between perfumer Marie Salamagne and the artist duo Twice Studio. These three designers met in Chennai, at the heart of Indian Tamil Nadu, with a singular goal – to explore the captivating art of Kolam and, based on their newfound insights, to craft a new rendition of the iconic L'Eau d'Issey fragrance.
This sunny, floral, and distinctly airy composition captures the delicate colorful arabesques of Kolam – a testament to how notes of Indian jasmine intertwine with the ephemeral petals of roses.
Top notes: grapefruit, freesia blossoms, and a hint of cardamom. The heart note is Indian Sambac jasmine, enveloping all five senses. The light scent of Centifolia rose evokes the movement of petals. Base notes: powdery, creamy Basmati rice (a rice that is exemplary for perfumery) with a sophisticated urban touch of cedar.
