Launched in 2015 and crafted by perfumers Dominique Ropion and Claire Liégent, Nuit d'Issey Parfum is a Woody Spicy fragrance that embodies the sophisticated elegance of Issey Miyake. The composition opens with pink pepper and grapefruit, creating a vibrant contrast against its rich base notes of vanilla, tonka bean, leather, and patchouli. This blend of warm spices and woody accords creates an enveloping warmth, evoking the intimate atmosphere of a well-worn library where leather-bound books and smoky incense mingle.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays to the pulse points — this fragrance blooms gradually on the skin. The spicy top notes dissipate within an hour but give way to a rich base that lasts throughout the day. Best for evenings or cooler weather, where its warmth feels most inviting.
