Le Sel d’Issey by Issey Miyake is a new woody-aquatic fragrance for men, launched in 2024. Behind this refreshing and modern composition is the renowned perfumer Quentin Bisch, who was inspired by the raw beauty of the seashore, where the freshness of the ocean meets the strength of wood. The scent is a perfect expression of the contrast between salty air and the earthy tones of nature.

The fragrance opens with a sparkling accord of sea salt, which brings a fresh, mineral facet evoking the surf and the purity of seawater. This salty note is underlined by a spicy, gently warming touch of ginger, which lends the composition vibrancy and energy, reminiscent of a sea breeze with a hint of exotic spice.

At the heart, an intriguing combination of seaweed, which lends the scent a green, subtly earthy character, and vetiver, whose woody-smoky nuance brings depth and sophistication, unfolds. This pairing highlights the natural, raw beauty of the ocean and coastal landscapes.

The base is built on the solid, masculine tones of cedarwood, which give the composition a dry, woody accord, while oakmoss adds an earthy, slightly damp note that underscores its natural character. Le Sel d’Issey by Issey Miyake is a fragrance for men who love simplicity, purity, and freshness with a touch of raw natural elegance. Ideal for everyday wear and for moments when you want to feel connected to nature.
