The Story
A Drop d'Issey Fraiche is a morning dew drop caught in a bottle—crystalline, green, and alive with the energy of a fresh spring day. Released in 2023 as the freshest expression of the A Drop d'Issey line, Nathalie Lorson amplified the transparent, dewy quality with lily of the valley and green notes over a breezy floral heart. It embodies Issey Miyake's design philosophy of finding extraordinary beauty in simplicity.
