ISSEY MIYAKE SHADES OF KOLAM WOMEN 3.4 OZ. EDT

ISSEY MIYAKE SHADES OF KOLAM WOMEN 3.4 OZ EDT is a luminous and artistic feminine fragrance that blends grapefruit, freesia, cardamom, jasmine sambac, May rose, basmati rice, ambergris, and cedarwood into a sophisticated scent full of freshness, elegance, and modern floral sensuality. Created by Issey Miyake, this fragrance is floral-fruity, airy, musky, and delicately spicy. Introduced in 2020 and created by perfumer Marie Salamagne, L’EAU D’ISSEY SHADES OF KOLAM was inspired by the colorful and intricate Kolam artworks traditionally created in India, representing beauty, harmony, and creativity.

It opens with vibrant notes of grapefruit, freesia, and cardamom, delivering a sparkling first impression filled with citrus freshness, soft florals, and subtle spicy brightness. At its heart, jasmine sambac, May rose, and unique basmati rice accords unfold, creating a creamy floral blend that feels elegant, airy, and softly comforting. As it settles, ambergris and cedarwood create a sensual trail — musky, woody, smooth, and lightly warm. Many fragrance lovers appreciate its unusual rice accord and the way it balances floral freshness with creamy musky depth.

The 3.4 oz Eau de Toilette presentation is ideal for women who enjoy fresh floral fragrances with soft musky warmth and graceful everyday versatility.

Many users consider it a refined hidden gem from the Issey Miyake collection because of its minimalist floral sophistication and creamy modern character.
