Spicy, leathery, still-sweet and still-fresh darker take on the EDT
Issey Miyake Nuit d’Issey Parfum is the 2015 flanker to the 2014 original Nuit EDT, still a mix of spices, leather, florals, and slight sweet, but less fresh and bright than the EDT, much darker and smoother. Interestingly, the EDT could be more of a daytime fragrance and the Parfum is a more truly apt nighttime fragrance than the EDT, but both are fairly agreeable and versatile while still being interesting. I’d certainly be more inclined to wear the EDT than the Parfum in warmer weather specifically, though even the Parfum could work on a summer night, I’d wager.
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.
Overall, it’s solid duo and unusually affordable on FragranceNet, at about $28 for 75ml, not quite as inexpensive as the EDT but still quite an outstanding deal.
