Le Sel D'issey For Men

Le Sel d'Issey is built around salt, and Quentin Bisch takes that idea seriously. Sea salt and ginger open it with a mineral bite — bracing rather than sweet — and the ginger keeps the salt from reading as merely aquatic.

Seaweed and vetiver hold the middle, iodine-tinged and green, before cedarwood and oakmoss bring it back to dry land. The result is closer to a coastal walk than a beach holiday: cool, slightly austere, and more interesting than most fresh fragrances in this price bracket.

Warm weather and daytime, and it suits an office as easily as a weekend. Eau de toilette concentration keeps it light on purpose.

Eau de toilette, 3.3 oz. For men.
