Le Sel d'Issey Parfum: A Salty, Woody New Scent from Issey Miyake
Issey Miyake introduces Le Sel d'Issey Parfum, a new masculine fragrance launching in 2026. It belongs to the woody aquatic olfactory family, playing with the contrast between sea salt and warm wood.
The nose behind this creation is Quentin Bisch. Top notes are salt and saffron, middle notes are seaweed and woody notes, while base notes are amber and oakmoss. According to early metrics, it holds an average rating of 4.11 out of 5, based on 100 ratings.
The opening is bright and slightly spicy, combining salt's mineral edge with saffron's leathery warmth. It feels like standing on a cliff where the sea breeze meets sun-heated rocks.
At the heart, seaweed and wood create a damp, coastal atmosphere. This is where the ocean seems to merge with a pine forest, giving the scent a rugged character.
The base of amber and oakmoss adds persistence and a subtle earthy depth. The amber introduces a soft resinous glow, while the oakmoss keeps things grounded.
Accords include marine, salty, woody, amber, aquatic, warm spicy, mossy, earthy, aromatic, and metallic. It's an intriguing array that shifts through the wear, revealing different layers over time.
A fragrance for those who appreciate complexity and want a statement scent. It currently carries a 4.11/5 rating from 100 votes, with two written reviews backing its early appeal.
Fans of woody aquatic perfumes, men who enjoy saline and spicy notes, and anyone looking for a deep, long-wearing fragrance with character.
Le Sel d'Issey Parfum is a bold choice that merges the ocean's mineral sharpness with the comfort of wood. Quentin Bisch's signature is clear, and with a rating of 4.11/5 from 100 ratings and two written reviews, it has already caught attention. Try it on skin to see how the salt and moss settle.

I’ve thoroughly tested this Parfum and I speak from experience: it’s a continuation of Le Sel EDP’s DNA with the saffron note incorporated. The scent is very good, like all the others in the collection, but they didn’t take the risk of creating something different and full of personality. You can appreciate the amber, darker, and more formal side of the EDP. My favorite, by far, is the EDT version: more versatile, with more projection, and a more pleasant scent.
Lots of hype, either way, like the EDP, somewhat darker and with more projection, it’s a sure thing.
