Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup and First Use
Your Issey Miyake A Drop D'issey Eau De Parfum comes ready for immediate use. Simply remove the cap and press the spray nozzle. For first-time use, you may need to 'prime' the pump by spraying a few times until a consistent mist appears.
Application Tips
- Pulse Points: For best diffusion, apply to pulse points such as your wrists, inner elbows, base of your throat, behind your ears, and behind your knees. These areas generate heat, which helps the fragrance develop and project.
- Moisturized Skin: Fragrance lasts longer on well-hydrated skin. Consider applying an unscented lotion or body cream before your perfume.
- Don't Rub: After spraying, avoid rubbing your wrists together. This can break down the fragrance molecules and alter the scent's intended development.
- Layering (Optional): While designed as a complete scent, you can enhance its longevity by using complementary unscented body products.
Compatibility
- Skin Types: Fragrances can smell slightly different on various skin types due to individual body chemistry, pH levels, and natural oils. Test on a small area if you have sensitive skin.
- Allergies: If you have known allergies to certain fragrance ingredients, please consult the product's full ingredient list before use.
Care and Storage
- Storage: Store your Eau de Parfum in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This helps preserve the integrity of the fragrance and prevents degradation.
- Avoid Humidity: Keep the bottle away from high-humidity areas like bathrooms, as humidity can also affect the fragrance composition.
- Secure Cap: Always ensure the cap is securely replaced after each use to prevent evaporation and contamination.
- External Use Only: This product is for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes and broken skin. Keep out of reach of children.
