What does Nuit d'Issey Parfum smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also gets worn at leisure. It reads mostly masculine, with some calling it modern.

It opens with pink pepper and grapefruit. In the heart, leather and vanilla make a sweet but smoky core. The base of patchouli and tonka bean absolute keeps it earthy and oriental. Hugo Boss Boss Alive Absolu and Montale Leather Patchouli have a close profile.
