Le Sel D'Issey Eau de Parfum

Le Sel D'Issey Eau de Parfum offers impressive longevity, typically lasting between six to eight hours on the skin. While the initial projection is noticeable, it settles into a more intimate, sophisticated sillage that remains persistent throughout the day. Compared to the original EDT, this version provides a denser and more consistent performance. It transitions smoothly from a salty opening to a warm, woody base, making it a versatile choice for both professional environments and evening wear across various seasons.

Launched in 2024 as an Eau de Toilette and followed by the Eau de Parfum in 2025, Le Sel d'Issey was the final project requested by Issey Miyake before his passing. Developed by perfumer Quentin Bisch, the fragrance serves as a major aquatic sequel to the iconic 1992 L'Eau d'Issey. It explores the "imagination of salt," a substance that is scentless in nature but holds deep sacred and purifying significance in Japanese culture. The scent was designed to capture the transition between sea and earth, utilizing sustainable ingredients like laminaria seaweed and upcycled oakwood. Its unique bottle, crafted by long-time collaborator Tokujin Yoshioka, features an oval glass design that reflects light to evoke the energy of salt. The fragrance debuted with a special exhibition at Tokyo's 21_21 Design Sight, emphasizing Miyake's lifelong commitment to simple, essential design that brings joy and surprise.
