Issey Miyake Le Sel d'Issey EDP was launched in 2025. Created by Quentin Bisch and lands in the Aromatic Aquatic fragrance group for men. Notes are sea salt, seaweed, incense, cedarwood and amber. This is the EDP version and a bit different than the EDT version.
From the Brand - "Le Sel D'Issey Eau de Parfum by Issey Miyake is a fragrance for men introduced in 2025. This scent is characterized by a marine and woody composition, blending mineral salt and seaweed notes to evoke the freshness of the sea. Incense forms the heart, while amber and cedarwood in the base provide a warm and solid woody trail."
Fragrantica - "If you ever smelled the EDT, it’s like that but to my nose the incense combine with the other notes to give a sun-kissed skin smell early on. As it dries the seaweed starts to surface. But done very faint and dark. The EDT captures the ocean, the earth, and the air during the day. The EDP captures the ocean and air at night."
Fragrantica - "Stick with the EDT, it has more of an edge. While this EDP is warmer, more rounded, it is somehow more mature and muted. I keep spraying it now and again but it's not grabbing me like the EDT."
Fragrantica - "I haven't been a fan of issey miyake fragrances in the past. I blind bought this and im glad I did, sharp opening with the salt, the incense stays for quite a long time and plenty of compliments when wearing."
Fragrantica - "Never thought incense could work for the summer and this has done it masterfully. Beautiful, clean and strong!
You'd think the notes sound disgusting or off putting but it's actually beautiful."
Fragrantica - "I’m obsessed with this one. The scent is luxurious and the salt / seaweed is not overbearing to me like others have mentioned. The base notes and dry down are divine. The salt is still there but the incense and cedar push it to the back and give it a sweetness that I just can’t get enough of."
Fragrantica - "I absolutely love this fragrance, a very high quality oceanic scent that's perfect for summer days and nights. To me this smells like I just finished a long surf session, the salt notes mixed with a smoky undertone is addictive to me, it has a subtle sweetness from the amber as well which really finishes it off and makes it super versatile. I chewed through my bottle as I was wearing it every day in summer and I got a ton of compliments from both girls and guys, its not super loud where it makes it obvious you are wearing a fragrance most of the compliments were just "you smell really nice", so I would say it is very blind buy safe. Projection is pretty solid for the first 2 hours before dying down to a skin scent, and longevity is really good for a freshie I would get probably around 7 hours, I would 100% recommend if you are looking for a designer freshie that smells 10/10 and is more unique than the copious amount of citrus bombs on the market today."
