Issey Miyake Le Sel D'Issey Eau De Parfum - 100 Ml

Issey Miyake Le Sel D’Issey Eau De Parfum

Following the massive global success of the Le Sel d'Issey Eau de Toilette, the brand has released the highly anticipated Le Sel D’Issey Eau De Parfum. Crafted by master perfumer Quentin Bisch, this fragrance takes the minimalist, mineral theme of its predecessor and adds a striking layer of smoky, shadow-like sensuality. It perfectly captures the concept of "where the cold sea meets the heated rocks of the land."

The presentation is a work of fluid art—designed by international designer Tokujin Yoshioka. The pure glass features an elliptical shape that beautifully catches the light, finished with a gradient grey lacquer base and topped with an intense, gunmetal-hued cap.

 The Scent Profile: Smoky Salt & Marine Woods

Unlike traditional aquatic scents that smell like fruity ocean water, Le Sel D'Issey EDP focuses on raw, dry elements balanced by deep, resinous smoke:

• Top Notes: Sea Salt Accord, Ginger, and Bergamot (A sharp, icy, and highly invigorating opening that feels like crisp ocean spray hitting your face).

• Heart Notes: Marine Seaweed, Oakmoss, and Vetiver (An earthy, mineral, and almost ink-like green core that mimics coastal rocks and damp sand).

• Base Notes: Incense, Amber Accord, and Upcycled Cedarwood (The big upgrade from the EDT—introducing a warm, mysterious, and slightly smoky dry-down that grounds the marine freshness).

Why the EDP Concentration is a Masterpiece

• The Dark Aquatic: Most summer fragrances can feel basic or overly citrus-heavy. Quentin Bisch turns that archetype on its head by injecting smoky incense and deep amber wood. It smells like an expensive, mysterious, and highly intellectual take on ocean air.

• Phenomenal Tropical Longevity: Fresh marine notes notoriously evaporate quickly in humid climates. However, because this is an Eau de Parfum boosted by amber and vetiver, it grips onto the skin brilliantly, offering a solid 7–9 hours of wear through hot Colombo afternoons.

• Eco-Conscious Luxury: True to Issey Miyake’s modern commitment to the earth, the fragrance is 100% vegan, crafted with 94% naturally derived ingredients (including upcycled cedar), and features a fully refillable bottle configuration.

Usage Tips

• Day-to-Night Chameleon: Thanks to its dual nature (icy salt for daylight, smoky incense for night), this is an exceptional 24-hour signature scent.

• Application: Apply 3–4 sprays directly onto skin pulse points. The warmth of your skin will beautifully radiate the complex transition from cold seaweed to warm, cozy incense over the course of the day.
