Le Sel d’Issey Eau de Parfum by Issey Miyake is a woody-marine fragrance created by Quentin Bisch, built around the contrast between cool salty freshness and warm ambered depth. More intense than the original Eau de Toilette, it combines marine notes, incense, and dry woods to create a clean yet sensual masculine scent with a distinctive mineral character.
The fragrance opens with a salty marine accord and seaweed, giving it a crisp, iodine-like freshness reminiscent of ocean air. As it develops, incense adds a dry, smoky warmth that deepens the composition without overwhelming its freshness. In the dry down, cedarwood, amber, and oakmoss create a warmer, woody foundation with a subtle earthy edge and lasting presence.
Le Sel d’Issey Eau de Parfum stands out for its unusual balance of sea salt, incense, amber, and woods. Fresh enough for daytime but warm enough for evenings, it is an excellent choice for those who want a modern aquatic fragrance with more depth and character.
