Le Sel d'Issey
Issey Miyake presents Le Sel d'Issey Eau de Parfum, a warm and intensely characterful fragrance built around the idea of salt. Perfumer Quentin Bisch has shaped a scent that feels both raw and refined, evoking a swim in the ocean and the open air of a seaside escape. Its salty accords sit over earthy undertones, giving it a sense of depth rather than simple freshness.
The opening is bright and aromatic, with a sparkling Bulgarian rose and a citrus lift giving way to a soft, lightly sweet heart. Beneath it, a dry woody base settles into a creamy, comforting warmth, with a gourmand sweetness that lingers long after the first application. The fragrance develops gradually, so its character becomes more enveloping as the hours pass.
This is a scent with real presence. It carries strongly and tends to last well, so a small amount is generally enough. Its depth suits cooler months and transitional seasons, though it wears comfortably in spring and summer as well. It works across a professional setting, a casual day out or a night out, moving easily from the office to the evening.

The Composition
Le Sel d'Issey Eau de Parfum by Issey Miyake is structured with layered accords that give the composition both clarity and controlled depth. The structure feels deliberate rather than excessive, moving with balance from its initial impression into a more grounded and composed core.
As it develops, the heart introduces Incense , creating a more textured centre. The transition remains smooth, allowing each note to emerge without disrupting the overall balance of the structure.
The base settles into Cedarwood, Amber , providing cohesion and depth to the drydown while maintaining continuity with the freshness established in the opening.
Shaped with clarity and structural precision from first impression through to drydown.
