Certainly no fragrance for all days - But surely one for one night - Its intense, heavy sillage is unmistakable even with a lot of headwind in the club. Dominant. With extremely long-lasting effect at least 6 hours on the body and perceptible until the morning after, pepper.

Night soul perfume and for cold or temperate climates. His dark heart of leather, spices and incense, which despite having that fresh vibe, is not a scent that I see diurnally, anyway, everyone will use it as they prefer, yes, I think that with the heat it would not be Very good ally. The top notes are bergamot heavy - synthetic-smelling bergamot that is - with a good measure of grapefruit worked into it - not unexpectedly quite a bright duo. Nuit d'Issey is so similar to Layton by PdM, though older, that I suspect it served a (perhaps big) little bit as a template. Issey Miyake is yes for a long time and rightly one of the larger manufacturers on the market, on which also houses like Marly should orientate.The fruity notes paired with desiccated woods remind me of Paco Rabanne’s One Million (and of Amouage Journey Man). Trendy inflection aside, Nuit d’Issey is an old school masculine. It’s wholesome and handsome. The familiar sharp citrus of most conventional masculines is here too, so if you’re looking for a quirky fragrance, this number isn’t for you. Nuit d'Issey is an extremely fresh, young and urban incense, but without losing an iota of elegance, with a very marked masculinity, and an extraordinary cleaning. I really liked this interpretation of the incense, very far from the incenses that I usually consume, but also a very beautiful incense. In the heart of nature with all its power and mystery, under the watchful eye of the moon, the senses are awakened, emotions are amplified. Nuit D’issey captures this force and bestows natural powers of attraction on the wearer.

And there he also wants to arrive well. The super fresh and somewhat sweet start of soft citrus wakes you up first again, before you are attracted by the well-harmonizing spices. A powerful mix of pepper, wood and leather. Definitely very masculine. Very present, alerting, but not penetrating.

The names of what perfume is now or extreme or intense is owed much more to the design and the appropriate name than to the truth. It's night, still warm but more bearable. Shops and restaurants line up and countless spices hang in the air, rising to your nose. Your olfactory memory makes you smile. It smells somehow always the same but still a little bit different every time. You will also store this smell and keep it for the cold days at home. Note-wise, Nuit d’Issey Parfum includes grapefruit, pink pepper, leather, vanilla, tonka, and patchouli, a strong mix of notes to yield a balanced, pleasing fragrance, and I’m glad to say that it works out. And even though it’s darker and smoother and more night/winter-appropriate than the EDT, the Parfum is still fairly fresh and invigorating.

Late in the evening on the beach, you sit down with a group of Thais and Europeans at the campfire. All sorts of woods flame together and dance in the moonlight. You are deeply relaxed and holding on to every second, because you know everything is in motion and fleeting.... Comparisons I've seen between this original EDT (2014) and the subsequent Parfum version (2015) seem to suggest that the Parfum is both more acclaimed and more up my alley personally, and then there are of course the other variants that have come out and been pretty popular since then (Polaris and especially Pulse of the Night)If perfume companies assume that men will wear anything under a familiar label, they make a mistake. Even if your average guy doesn’t want to push his boundaries with new scents, he still wants quality and classical good taste. When my cousin’s beloved Axe Apollo got reformulated and lost in diffusion and finesse, he instantly noticed it. What resulted was a soliloquy worthy of a Greek tragic hero. He smells to me like a long, extensively danced through night. Some things blurred, some inhibitions became secondary, some things disappeared the next day, but one thing is for sure: the scent remains, if not on your skin, then in your head. And not just in your own. Step into a world where timeless elegance meets modern innovation with Issey Miyake Fragrances. Discover an olfactory journey like no other, where each scent is a testament to the brand’s iconic style and unwavering commitment to sustainability. He fits perfectly to the cold season and also to the short days - and as his name suggests - of course to the night :)

Obviously my original commentary was too sharp for this format, so now the *censored* light version for the general public ;-) Nevertheless, Sisheido Group can boast many very good products. I'm sure the new Leau super majeure will be a success, albeit here with an incredibly unfortunate name.Dive into the night, nature and sky will become one. Under the influence of the moon, nature is magnified, senses are enhanced, emotions deepened, 'Nuit D'Issey' draws its strength from the powerful and mysterious nature and empowers the man that wears it with a powerful force of natural attraction. Indulge your senses with our range of classic, minimalistic scents for both men and women inspired by the iconic fashion house. From the fresh and invigorating L’Eau d’Issey for her, to the bestselling L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme*, there is a fragrance to suit every personality and occasion. Nuit d’Issey is what I’d call a safe scent, but it’s done so well that it’s worth trying on that basis alone. It has all the hallmarks of a classical masculine fragrance (or the Western masculine, since the other half of the world doesn’t find the gender division in perfumery so compelling). Its dry woody accord is folded into soft leather and sweetened enough with cooked apple notes to make the fragrance approachable and easy-going. If the idea is to find a new daytime fragrance, Nuit d’Issey will fit the bill. It’s thoroughly boardroom acceptable, but it’s far from dull. The start of the scent is at least as exciting as your first night in Bangkok and the beginning of a journey. As soon as you arrive at the hostel, it's straight onto Khaosan Road. Someone accidentally runs into you and you have your grapefruit juice now on your linen shirt. In the drydown a spics spice mix develops, but the spices are bite really hot - I get predominantly nutmeg and a whiff of white pepper, with a sweetish vetiver adding additional nuances. This vetiver is light, and without any earthy or deeper character. A pleasant suede impression develops, which is underlined by a nonspecific woodsiness at times. Towards the base a soft in and transiently mikes an appearance; it is quite weak and more of a non-event.
