Nuit d'Issey

Eau de Toilette

Leather is the hinge Issey Miyake Nuit d'Issey Eau de Toilette turns on, and it is the reason this sits apart from everything else the house has done. The opening is bright for about five minutes. Bergamot and grapefruit arrive together, both bitter rather than juicy, and they function as a doorway rather than a destination. Then the leather comes up, and it is handled smooth and dark rather than raw: not a saddle, more the inside of a well made jacket, slightly smoky, with a cool polish to it. Vetiver runs alongside, rooty and green, keeping the leather from going soft.

The base is where it gets comfortable. Patchouli brings earth and a dark herbal sweetness, and tonka bean rounds the edges with a dusty sweetness that smells baked rather than sugared. The two together explain why a scent this dark still ends up easy to wear.

It is an eau de toilette, so it starts with a push and then draws close, holding on the skin for several hours with the leather and patchouli still legible at the end of the day. Three sprays is the ceiling. This is an evening fragrance and a cold weather one, cut for men, and it suits dinners, bars and winter coats rather than desks in July. If the clean watery side of the house has never appealed to you, this is the entry in the catalogue that answers it.

The house is a Japanese design company rather than a perfume house. Miyake Design Studio was established in 1970 and the company incorporated in 1971, with the first store opening in Tokyo in 1974 and the head office now in Shibuya. Fragrance has been part of the business since March 1992, and the clothes it is known for rely on pleating and on experimental construction.

Issey Miyake Parfums is a collection that was co-developed with Beauté Prestige International in France. The first fragrance, L'Eau d'Issey was born in 1992. The idea for this scent, whose name means ‘water’, was conceived of by Miyake, who saw water as both the greatest material, as well as the greatest source for inspiration. It has had a remarkable influence upon the world of perfume.

The Miyake Design Studio supervises the creative direction for the fragrance at every stage, from the initial concept to bottle design, naming, graphics, package design, marketing tools, and publicity.

Issey Miyake’s philosophy has never deviated. His goals are to create fragrances that convey a message, to inspire people with hope for a bright future, to present simple yet functional bottle designs that are at once accessible and universal, while never losing a sense of wonder. As with our clothing design, we continue to create new fragrances that are not only pertinent to our lifestyles, but are also founded in pure essentials.
