Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Le Sel d’Issey EDT
A crystalline blast of oceanic salt, green seaweed, and fresh woods that feels both sharply modern and deeply elemental. A must for fans of aquatic masculines who want something more mineral and natural than sweet.
Favourite
Our Verdict - 280 Issey Miyake Le Sel d'Issey EDP
280 dupes Issey Miyake Le Sel d'Issey's marine salt-and-woods signature well, but comes across softer and less dry than the original.
