Nuit d'Issey Noir Argent

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and say it works best in the evening or on a night out, though it is also worn for leisure. It reads as masculine, with a modern side.

It starts with nutmeg, black pepper, pink pepper and grapefruit, a cool, spicy first impression. In the heart, saffron, leather and frankincense add a sweet, resinous warmth. The base settles on patchouli, myrrh, vetiver and woody and resinous notes, giving it a smoky footing. Fresh and sweet accords soften the edges. Issey Miyake Nuit d'Issey and Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb Dark Leather have a close profile.
