Launched in 2021, Nuit d'Issey Bois Arctic by Issey Miyake is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that marries fresh and spicy notes with the warmth of vanilla and tobacco. Dominique Ropion and Fanny Bal crafted this composition around grapefruit and pink pepper for an invigorating opening, which transitions into a heart of basil, black pepper, and geranium. The base note of vanilla, tobacco, and tonka bean adds depth and comfort, creating a scent that feels both refreshing and grounded.

Application Tips
For a balanced experience, apply two sprays — the fresh and spicy top notes are quick to fade within an hour but leave room for the warm base notes to linger. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than in a wide sillage.

Dominique Ropion is a daring perfectionist, a true inventor. The risks he takes are invariably accompanied by a relentless pursuit of exact olfactory balance and flawless composition. His perfumes are like great architectural feats: in the same way that a bridge, whose seemingly miraculous suspension of weight is in fact a harnessing of counteracting forces, Dominique often balances excessive doses of powerful ingredients with meticulously-measured, subtler accords, until the composition holds up on its own. A good perfume, he likes to say, must always appear obvious.

The story behind the bottle.
The crisp chill of an urban park at twilight, where the air is tinged with the sweetness of vanilla and the earthiness of tobacco.
