Dark, spicy, sweet and alluring. This fragrance is perfect for an evening encounter with a lady-friend (or man-friend if you like). Superb

A generic fragrance, full of tonkin and sweet bubble gummy sides, I honestly don't understand this direction in perfumery...

Interestingly this contains the aroma chemical used for violet. The patchouli with tonka bean is magnificently done. I prefer the EDT.

Fresh and elegant
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.

The Start is fresh, with a good citrus dose and a fruity touch, and of course, the incense and some leather are beginning to be noticed, but slightly still. Then, the incense begins to have more prominence, but here it is entertained by a leather bottom, with some wood and many spices, which give it a dark and respectable appearance, but keeping that vibe fresh and young. From here, the incense leave is wrapped in a mixture of tonka bean and patchouli, with a slight woody leave very deep. This final part, I would do something generic if not for the touch of incense, which brings the freshness and elegance necessary to not fall into the boring, anyway, it is an exquisite aroma that is reminiscent of others by the duo of tonka and patchouli, but that is still very pretty.

In terms of duration is fine, between 6 and 7 hours in skin, with a moderate projection from the beginning.

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.

When I say that this perfume is fresh, I mean that it is an easy to wear and very versatile incense, nothing opulent or loaded like other incense perfumes I know.

Wardrobe
Have you got the wardrobe to go with this perfume? I tried to hate this perfume just as I tried to hate the OG Issey but after an hour wearing in the mall, I had to bring it home. Nuit is a fragrance where I don't even bother looking at the notes because it continually evolves and develops with a wearing hence why it took me an hour to love it. The opening is citrus and if you whiff too hard, you'll get a headache. Sound familiar? Hint: the OG does the same for me. Don't worry because after a brief moment someone turns the lights off and you're left in the dark. What's this note? Every whiff I smell a hint of something unique sitting atop a subtle sexy suede accord. I wanted to hate that suede accord but it's so well balanced with creamy tonka and delicious pepper. Here's the catch. Here's the reason someone might not love this and that's because of inadequacy. Yes, I am being pretentious about this but you can't spray this on and go out in sandals and socks. A perfume that makes you want to dress up. Suit and tie with oxfords and your favorite jewelry. This perfume begs the wearer to be better and isn't that how we should feel when we wear perfume? With the right clothes and with every whiff, you'll feel motivated and confident. Thank you Issey for keeping this flanker available. I've tried the parfum but the effervescence of the Edt is unforgettable. I could care less about the fragrance notes. This perfume remains an ever developing mystery to my nose and that mystery is so alluring and sexy. So what about longevity? Don't worry about it. Projection? Modest and enticing. Sillage? Creamy tonka and delicious spices gently pulsing off your skin. You press your nose to it and that's where you'll find the suede/leather accord. Not a projection beast but it leaves an arm's length trail of elegance, sensuality, and mystery. Suit up.

Harsh..
Omg, i can't believe Mr. Ropion created something like this! Very harsh and sharp opening, somehow linear, i could detect a minty note Which couldn't get along with the insense, vetiver and spices in the heart IMO, even the tonka's sweetness could not break it. Big disappointment, you have to try it first before buying.

Fresh, spicy, versatile, and a bargain
This is a long-overdue proper sampling of the original Issey Miyake Nuit d’Issey EDT from 2014, a great fresh spicy mix that seems to have a bit of a Spicebomb-esque “hot meets cold” motley of spices along with fresher fruitier elements as well, its blend consisting of bergamot, grapefruit, leather, black pepper, incense, ebony tree, tonka, patchouli, and some other spicy/woody notes. The leather is fairly faint, the main vibe being a citric/woody/spicy blend that’s just done very well overall.

This evokes a classic “what’s not to like?” reaction from me, as it’s so easily likable (and the assortment of notes seems formulaically safe to yield a good result) yet I can see how some might not be smitten with it. It’s good, certainly, but is it great? It’s surely practical, as, despite pertaining to the night in name, it’s invigorating and fresh enough to be a daytime and year-round option to the point that I doubt it would seem out of place even in the heat of summer.

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)

It’s essentially a cheapie at this point, currently $35 for 125ml (the larger size) on FragranceNet, a deal that seems difficult to beat given the brand and quality of the juice. So it’s a bargain that I’ll have to seek out if I do not perhaps try the Parfum first.
