Nuit d’Issey
Beyond colour, the absence of all colour, non-colour... black is mystery.
Immersed in the heart of the night.
Into the night.
A new experience.
Nuit d’Issey.
For the launch of his new fragrance for men, Issey Miyake, in collaboration with visual artist and photographer Ryan Hopkinson, carries us into the heart of a mysterious night. Into the heart of an immoderate landscape where glimmering moonlight underscores the relief of a graphic, majestic nature.
At night, emotions are amplified and magnified; sensations are intensified. Landmarks are lost in an immersive dive toward the discovery of a new world.
Bold, free and brave, the Nuit d’Issey man commands admiration. Game for any experience, inclined to rise to challenges, he dives. After his brief getaway, he resurfaces, filled with a natural power to attract... the messenger of this new fragrance.
Fragrant night.
Nuit d’Issey
Sharp, crisp and mysterious, the fragrance is an ode to wood. An effervescence of rich ingredients, mingled with opulence and potency.
The top notes feature the bright, zesty bite of tangy citrus accords. Exquisite, elegantly masculine bergamot and tender grapefruit with sparkling vivaciousness.
In the middle notes, the fragrance follows a mysterious trail where a leather accord emerges, enhanced with spices and black pepper, and laden with wood and vetiver.
In the base notes, potency takes shape. The attraction of rich, textured accords – “black” woods, patchouli and incense – extends into the exquisite, smooth sweetness of tonka bean.
According to Dominique Ropion and Loc Dong, the two perfumers, Nuit d'Issey was built on a leather backbone surrounded by woods and spices. Their composition was designed to convey the idea of “adding light to the night”.
The strength of woods and the potency of sensual, leathery notes underscore the intentionally very masculine character of Nuit d'Issey, a spicy, woody, leathery fragrance.
Magnetic night.
Hypnotic night.
A night where anything is possible for a hero with triumphal charisma.
