The story behind the bottle.
Le Sel d’Issey, launched in 2024 by Issey Miyake and crafted by perfumer Quentin Bisch, is a Woody Aquatic fragrance that embodies the essence of the sea with an innovative twist. The composition opens with notes of sea salt and ginger, creating a vibrant and fresh aromatic profile. As it settles into its heart, seaweed and vetiver add earthy depth, while cedarwood and oakmoss provide a woody backdrop that feels both grounding and luxurious.
Apply Le Sel d’Issey sparingly — its marine notes are bright but fleeting. Focus on areas like your wrist and neck to allow the woody base to develop over time. It pairs well with both casual and formal settings, making it a versatile choice for any occasion.
