What does Le Sel d'Issey (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Ginger and salt give a spicy, briny freshness at first, while laminaria and vetiver in the heart add a green, sea-like air. Oakmoss and cedarwood leave a woody base, and the citrus and synthetic tones back up the fresh character.

Voters rate both longevity and sillage as good. Most pick spring and summer, and winter gets very few votes. Daily wear, leisure and business lead the occasions, with sport also getting votes. It is mostly seen as masculine and modern. Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue pour Homme Discover Vulcano and Davidoff Cool Water Eau de Toilette have a close profile.
