Experience the power of salt with an Eau de Toilette that uncovers the taste of life
Would it be possible to grasp the largely imperceptible smell of salt and transform it into the perfect olfactory experience? The Issey Miyake Le Sel d'Issey Eau de Toilette for men will give you the answer. It has two contrasting faces – one powered by the freshness of salt accord, the other driven by masculine, earthy notes. It combines the lively nature of the sea with the intensity of wood, awakening all of your senses.

Composition of the fragrance:
Imagine the sun rising over the ocean in the morning, with a gentle breeze carrying the energetic aroma of salt. Suddenly the breeze becomes sharper, a spicy touch of ginger engulfing your senses. At the heart of the fragrance, seaweed dances to the rhythm of the tide and the earthy sand feels warm and gentle underneath your feet. Vetiver brings a touch of mystery, as if intertwined with the power and depth of the ocean. The trail of the composition transports you to wooded valleys near the sea, where the scent of cedarwood and oakmoss, slightly damp and full of life, evokes the eternal connection between the earth and the sea.
Story of the fragrance:
The minimalist bottle of Le Sel d'Issey elegantly captures the light and energy of salt, designed by world-renowned designer Tokujin Yoshioka. The transparent 20% recycled glass reveals the reflections of the light grey colour of the Eau de Toilette. An intriguing element decorates the bottom of the bottle, bulging inwards like a hemisphere to represent strength and masculinity.
Issey Miyake doesn’t take its commitments to nature lightly; that’s why the fragrance comes in a box made from 10% seaweed. The bottle is also refillable, meaning you can further reduce waste by reusing it.
