OPENING – THE FIRST IMPRESSION
From the first spray, #280 feels like standing by the ocean at dawn. Bergamot and grapefruit burst with crisp brightness, while a hint of sea salt cuts through with that clean, mineral freshness that defines Issey Miyake’s DNA. It’s instantly invigorating — airy, pure, and quietly powerful.
⸻
HEART – THE MINERAL FLORAL
As it settles, the scent reveals a unique balance — iris brings a smooth, powdery softness, while geranium and cypress add a green, aromatic edge. Together they create a refined, modern freshness that feels effortlessly elegant. It’s clean but never sterile — more like cool skin after saltwater and sun.
⸻
BASE – THE COOL DEPTH
When it dries down, ambergris and musk bring a gentle warmth beneath the freshness. Sandalwood and vetiver anchor the scent with soft, woody depth, giving it a subtle masculine sensuality that lingers beautifully.

THE FEELING
#280 is the scent of fresh confidence — calm, balanced, and quietly sophisticated. It’s clean without being cold, woody without being heavy, and made for men who value understated elegance.
