ISSEY MIYAKE L'Eau d'Issey Shades of Kolam

The Eau de Toilette Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Shades of Kolam 100 ml is inspired by perfumer Marie Salamagne's incredible trip to India. Floral, bathed by the sun and ethereal, L'Eau d'Issey Shades of Kolam captures the delicate and colorful arabesques of Kolam: notes of Indian jasmine are intertwined with fleeting rose petals.

To beautify the bottle of this special edition, the designers started again and designed a Kolam-style typography. Interlocking letters recall this complex art. The fresh and vivid colors are reminiscent of the colors with which the patterns were designed on the floor. But also in the colors of India, the country where light turns every color into pure emotion. The famous Indian rose was chosen for L'Eau d'Issey: a magnetic tone that permeates the bottle and is reflected in the lid. Iconic photos of this great adventure appear in the outer packaging. It's an invitation to travel.

What is kolam?
Kolam is a unique art that has been passed down from mother to daughter, generation after generation, for centuries. A technique that combines artistic expression and mathematical skills with ancient dissemination techniques. These geometric patterns, which Indian women draw with rice powder and colored pigments, create captivating arabesques that unfold in concentric circles to form mandalas. With its many forms that blend in different ways, Kolam's art demands infinite creativity. Each work combines fascinating works of art with an eye-catching color palette.
