Le Sel d'Issey Eau de Toilette. The power of salt in a new fragrance for men.
Le Sel d'Issey Eau de Toilette is the dynamic new vegan perfume by Issey Miyake, thanks to the power of salt.
Water. Abundant and crystal clear. The vital flow carries the elusive and imperceptible salt along with it. As the water evaporates, the salt crystallizes and leaves its tangible scent behind on the skin. Salt has a surprising scent that stimulates the senses and reveals the taste of life.
Go with the movement and feel your heartbeat. Enjoy the vitality.
A new freshness in a woody perfume for men
Le Sel d'Issey is a fresh woody maritime perfume made with 95% natural ingredients and 100% French alcohol of natural origin. A vegan fragrance in which the power of salt is revealed by masculine earthy notes.
This vibrant perfume travels from the sea to the land, expressed by two olfactory polarities.
The salty polarity encompasses the sea with its powerful salt accord. Naturally sourced seaweed blends with naturally sourced oakmoss – a species of algae that has migrated inland – creating the fragrance's second olfactory polarity.
The freshness of the salt accord is enhanced by notes of sparkling ginger that emerge within the earthy polarity. Woody notes reveal their intensity and give the fragrance density and texture. Natural vetiver sand is combined with cedarwood – a natural, upcycled ingredient distilled from dust from the waste stream of furniture making.
The dynamic interplay between the salty and earthy polarities enhances the fragrance, for a raw and powerful masculinity.
A pure and 'clean' perfume bottle
With its sharp aesthetic, the perfume bottle captures the light and energy of salt. The internationally renowned designer behind the creation, Tokujin Yoshioka, has previously collaborated directly with Mr. Miyake, and his work explores the natural process of crystallization.
The light grey tint of the fragrance is visible through the transparent bottle (made of 20% recycled glass) and symbolizes the salt that is central to the scent. A clear hemisphere at the bottom symbolizes strength and masculinity.
The outer box is executed in harmony with the fragrance in a natural grey tint that reflects the purity of salt, while the matte surface evokes the rough texture of salt crystals. For the first time, the packaging consists of 10% upcycled seaweed and material from well-managed, FSC™-certified forests and other controlled sources.
Le Sel d'Issey is refillable and available in 50 ml and 100 ml, with a 150 ml refill. Made in France.
