Issey Miyake Le Sel d'Issey Eau de Parfum, Sample
Issey Miyake Le Sel d'Issey Eau de Parfum opens with a vivid splash of mineral salt and seaweed, evoking the crisp, bracing sensation of ocean air sweeping across a rocky shoreline. The salt note is dry and crystalline, offering a refreshing sharpness that contrasts beautifully with the green, slightly briny aroma of seaweed. Together, they create an invigorating introduction that feels both energising and cleansing, like a cool breeze on a sun-drenched coastal walk.
As the fragrance unfolds, the heart reveals a smoky swirl of incense that rises elegantly, adding depth and a touch of mystery. This element imbues the scent with a meditative calm, as if entering a serene sanctuary where the mind can wander freely. The incense is both rich and airy, weaving through the marine freshness with a sense of quiet strength, encouraging contemplation and inner peace.
In the dry-down, Le Sel d'Issey settles into a warm, grounding base of golden amber and noble cedarwood. The amber provides a soft, enveloping warmth, reminiscent of sun-warmed sand, while the cedarwood introduces a noble, woody depth that anchors the fragrance. The interplay between the crisp marine notes and the earthy base creates a modern exploration of contrasts, evoking the untamed vitality of the sea alongside the steadfast strength of the earth.
