Nuit d'Issey Issey Miyake 2014

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 fragrance was a Christmas gift to me. And thank God, alone I would probably not have come up with the idea to buy him.

He fits perfectly to the cold season and also to the short days - and as his name suggests - of course to the night :)
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.
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.

Some say the same thing about Layton! Here is the cheaper alternative with a little less, but satisfying H/S.
