About

Nuit d’Issey Eau de Toilette opens with a crisp flash of bergamot and grapefruit, quickly plunging into a shadowy heart of leather, pepper and smoky vetiver. Incense and ebony wood dominate the base, mingling with patchouli and a dark, resinous amber that lingers like midnight mist. The result is magnetic - a modern masculine that’s both mysterious and approachable, balancing rugged woods with flickers of citrus brightness and subtle spice. Bold but never brash, Nuit d’Issey feels like a walk through moonlit woods: quietly powerful, confidently unique.
