Perfumes Zag Zodiak 280 Issey Miyake Le Sel d'Issey is an Eau de Parfum. 280 Issey Miyake Le Sel d'Issey opens with Salt and Ginger, settles into a heart of Vetiver and Seaweed, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Oakmoss. Perfumes Zag Zodiak's 280 Issey Miyake Le Sel d'Issey carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

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.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

280 opens on sea salt and ginger, moves through a seaweed-vetiver heart and settles on cedar and oakmoss, following Le Sel d'Issey's clean marine-woody profile closely. A fair everyday clone with reduced sillage next to the original. The salty-mineral opening is the reason to buy it, and it shines on warm days, though the marine effect thins out well before the cedar does.
