The gallery SHIKAKU at ISSEY MIYAKE SHINJUKU, on the 2nd floor of Isetan Shinjuku Main Building, presents an installation, “ISSEY MIYAKE LE SEL D’ISSEY” by ISSEY MIYAKE PARFUMS from Saturday, February 1 to Friday, February 28.
“LE SEL D’ISSEY,” a New Perfume Inspired by Salt
Thirty years have passed since the announcement of L’EAU D'ISSEY POUR HOMME, a fragrance created to evoke the scent of water. Today, ISSEY MIYAKE PARFUMS introduces a new fragrance, inspired by designer Issey Miyake’s fascination with another essential natural element: salt.
Designer and artist Tokujin Yoshioka created the “LE SEL D'ISSEY” bottle. He expresses the theme of “salt” with the transparent glass form and the phenomenon of light that transcends form. Perfumer Quentin Bisch created the fragrance, and interprets the concept as a dialogue between sea and land, recalling the sensation from salt, which ordinarily has no smell, and using it as an animating factor for the fragrance.
Through the installation of fragrance bottles and scents at The SHIKAKU, you will experience the dynamic worldview of LE SEL D’ISSEY.
Period: Saturyday, February 1 — Friday, February 28
Venue: ISSEY MIYAKE SHINJUKU
