Le Sel d’Issey by Issey Miyake is a new woody-aquatic fragrance for men, launched in 2024. Behind this refreshing and modern composition stands 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 opening features a sparkling accord of sea salt, bringing a fresh, mineral touch that evokes the surf and the purity of seawater. This salty note is underpinned by a spicy, gently warming touch of ginger, which lends the composition vitality and energy, reminiscent of a sea breeze with a hint of exotic spice.

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

The base rests on solid, masculine tones of cedarwood, which gives 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 as well as moments when you want to feel connected to nature.
