DALLAS, May 2, 2008 / FW/ — Summer makes one think of sandy beaches or at least spending time in a pool. Santiago Marotto has different idea for summer though. Casthing his creative eye on Issey Miyake Eaux d’Eté, the young designer envisioned a “rêve d’eau” – a dream of water, a fantastic journey between the skies and the seas.

“I wanted to evoke the cycles that water goes through, and to show it in all its forms: rain, vapour, liquid… water as a ‘living’ thing. At the same time I wanted to capture its light, airy freshness in a figurative, light-hearted, nearly naive mode of expression,” said Santiago Marotto.

Thus, a new story was sketched upon the bottles of Eaux d’Eté for women and for men. And Reve d’Eau, Issey Miyake’s 2008 summer Fragrance as Santiago Marotto, the Creative artist behind Reve d’Eau, vision came true, with both fragrances created by famed perfumer Jacques Cavallier.

For her:

Water becomes a caress. The sensual sweetness of rose water blends with the succulent flesh of pear for a mouth-watering start. Awash in a velvety affusion of peony and carnation, osmanthus shines forth, warmed by precious woods.

L’Eau d’Issey Eau de Toilette pour L’Eté 3.4 oz
Rosewater, pear, peony, carnation, osmanthus and precious woods.

For him:

Water becomes a bracing spindrift. Frosty zests of yuzu and mandarin bubble with vivacity. Sprinkled with aromas of ebullient cardamom and aromatic sage, the Eau becomes an invigorating wave, cooled by the nearly marine accents of vetiver and ambergris.

L’Eau d’Issey pour Homme Eau de Toilette pour L’Eté 4.2 oz
Yuzu, mandarin, cardamom, sage, vetiver and ambergris.

Both fragrances are available May 1st at Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s and other fine department stores

L’Eau d’Issey Summer Fragrance: $60.00
L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme Summer Fragrance: $56
