Le Sel d'Issey Issey Miyake 2025 Eau de Parfum

I love to explore the surroundings on the first day of vacation, and I usually prefer to wander around, letting myself drift and seeing where it takes me! That's what vacation means to me-walking around without any time pressure and simply letting the impressions wash over me.

This is exactly how I feel about Le Sel d'Issey! Because often on the first day, I also stroll along the beach promenade. The scent of the sea, which I haven't smelled in a while, and the warm, hot stones or pebbles that somehow contribute to the overall fragrance. And that's how Le Sel d'Issey is; it smells salty, slightly mineral (which I associate with stones or pebbles), yet it is also incredibly fresh, as if just coming out of the shower.

Quentin Bisch has created a wonderful fragrance at a designer level that beautifully conveys the theme of vacation! Great respect for that.

I think the seaweed provides the freshness, the oak moss adds the mineral aspect, while warmth and depth come from amber and incense. Simply brilliantly executed.

H/S are absolutely convincing for a designer who is truly casting his feelers towards niche.

Decide for yourselves.
