Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Extract - Shiro Kuramata Limited-Edition (2008) {New Perfume} {Luxury Fragrance}

Leau-dissey-Parfum.jpgDesign and perfume lovers can take note; Issey Miyake has introduced a Christmas 2008 limited-edition of the iconic fragrance from the 1990s, L'Eau D'Issey, as part of a special homage paid to his friend, designer Shiro Kuramata who passed away in 1991. Kuramata is the author of the sculpture-bottle meant to symbolize "...the union of two opposite forms: the sphere and the cube." It reportedly took them years of technical research just to be able to finalize the prototype model. Turquoise was the favorite color of Kuramata.

The flacon has been issued in 2500 numbered copies. Each flacon contains 20 ml of pure extrait of L'Eau d'Issey,  a scent originally created by perfumer Jacques Cavallier in 1991...
