Le Sel d'Issey
Le Sel d'Issey by Issey Miyake is a masculine-leaning eau de toilette from 2024 in the designer price tier. It opens with sea salt and ginger, moves into seaweed and vetiver and dries down to cedarwood and oakmoss. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Sea Salt Mineral and dry. Skin after a day at the beach.
- Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
Heart
- Seaweed Salty, green and faintly funky. Real coastline rather than a bottle of 'fresh'.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
Dry-down
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
