"Le Sel d'Issey | Issey Miyake" opens with an intensely fresh, mineral-cool, and somewhat delicately sterile 'note, which is underscored by a citrusy silky, matte shimmering 'ginger note, specifically its delicate fragile skin, revealing to me the image of water reflecting in the sunlight.
A little later, the mineral ginger skin is somewhat dimmed but still clearly perceptible in the background, merging with a light and simultaneously slightly dark green marbled, softly aquatic plant nuance, accompanied by a finely woven, distinctly herbaceous spicy masculine 'vetiver note, allowing the water to reveal a glimpse of its bottom with its many small pebbles and 'algae.
In leisurely steps, "Le Sel d'Issey | Issey Miyake" leaves a bright, softly smooth, glittering white speckled, typically 'oakmoss impression, which glides into a moving yet simultaneously calm scent conclusion, accompanied by fine, almost resinous, grayish wooden 'Virginia cedar wood splinters.
'Salt was unfortunately denied by my paleocortex :-)
Overall, the scent lasts 15 hours on my skin.
The sillage is designed for 1.5 hours at 1.5 meters and 3.5 hours at a very distinctly perceptible full arm's length, before it reduces in minimal steps until the scent conclusion.
Described perfectly.
The seaweed in the heart notes is particularly prominent for me, making it special. It's not a scent I'll want to wear every day. But I'm looking forward to wearing it in the summer when it's over 30 degrees. Maybe by the lake.
That's where it will really shine.
