Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Nuit d’Issey EDT
Atmospheric and enigmatic, Nuit d’Issey is a smoky, woody statement with a citrus spark. It’s a contemporary night-out classic for those who want to stand apart with subtle confidence.

Our Verdict - Zurich EDP
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Hermes Terre d'Hermes (2006) - orange, pepper and vetiver translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

Nuit d’Issey

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

The smoky woods, leather and incense give Nuit d’Issey a depth and warmth perfect for cool weather, making it excel in fall and winter, while citrus top notes keep it wearable in spring. It can feel too heavy for the hottest days.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its rich, spicy-woody structure is alluring and confident for dates or evening wear, and refined enough for formal settings. Projection and smokiness may be too assertive for office or sporty use.
