Le Sel d'Issey Parfum: Sea Salt and Wood in Issey Miyake's New Launch
Issey Miyake brings us Le Sel d'Issey Parfum, a new men's fragrance released in 2026. The scent is part of the woody aquatic family, balancing marine freshness with rich wood.
Composed by perfumer Quentin Bisch, it opens with salt and saffron, moves into a heart of seaweed and woody notes, and rests on amber and oakmoss. So far, it holds a score of 4.11 out of 5 from 100 ratings.
The top notes give a crisp, spicy sensation—salt meets saffron in a vivid onset. There's an almost metallic edge to the salt, softened by saffron's leathery warmth.
The middle registers as damp and mineral, with seaweed supported by wood. It's a rugged combination that suggests a sea-soaked forest.
The dry-down becomes warmer, thanks to amber, while oakmoss adds an aged, earthy character. The two notes balance each other, offering both sweetness and depth.
Its accords run from marine and salty to woody, amber, aquatic, warm spicy, mossy, earthy, aromatic, and metallic. Each sniff reveals a different angle.
This is a fragrance designed for the man who wants a complex, memorable presence. With a 4.11/5 average from 100 ratings and two reviews, it's already turning heads.
Those who favour woody aquatic perfumes, men seeking a salty and spicy edge, and wearers who value longevity and depth.
Le Sel d'Issey Parfum is an ambitious addition to Issey Miyake's line, merging salty, oceanic freshness with woody warmth. With an average rating of 4.11/5 based on 100 ratings (including two written reviews), it's already making an impression. As always, a skin test is recommended before committing.

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 favourite, 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.
