The quiet focus of an after-hours workspace, where the hum of fluorescent lights and the scent of leather-bound journals create a cocoon of concentration.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Nuit d'Issey Bleu Astral, launched in 2017 and crafted by perfumer Loc Dong, is a Woody Spicy fragrance that embodies the innovative spirit of Issey Miyake. The composition opens with a burst of lime and coriander, which cut through to create an aromatic tension before settling into a base of leather, amberwood, and woody notes. This blend creates a dynamic interplay between freshness and warmth, making it a compelling choice for those who appreciate complexity.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to your pulse points — the citrus opening is bright but fades quickly into the more enduring base notes. This fragrance stays close to the skin rather than projecting widely, so layering it on slightly heavier initially can help capture its full depth.
