Issey Miyake Nuit d'Issey Noir Argent is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Dominique Ropion and Fanny Bal. Nuit d'Issey Noir Argent opens with Grapefruit, Pepper, Pink Pepper, and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Leather, Saffron, and Frankincense, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Patchouli, Labdanum, and Myrrh. It lasts about 4 to 6 hours on skin, fills a room and is best in autumn and winter. Issey Miyake's Nuit d'Issey Noir Argent carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

A dark, spicy leather. Nutmeg and pepper come up quickly, frankincense and saffron smoke the heart, myrrh and labdanum add resin. Smoky and resinous with an incense edge, for cold nights.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the pyramid as published, not a timing claim. Each note's timing follows its listed tier, where it usually sits across many published pyramids (from ScentPrism) and its vapour pressure. A note comes through as the notes usually listed before it fade, judged from how other pyramids order the same pair. The thickness of a ribbon shows the note's share of what is left on the skin, which tracks how strongly it smells, because odour thresholds rise with vapour pressure. The shares come from how prominent wearers vote each note. It is a simple model, not a measurement.

About

Noir Argent is a dark, spicy leather. It opens with nutmeg, black pepper and pink pepper, with grapefruit giving a brief cold flash, and the spice comes up quickly. Leather and frankincense take the heart, with saffron adding a warm, slightly metallic glow. The effect is smoky and dry, like a church after the candles are out. The base is dense with myrrh, patchouli, labdanum and vetiver, resinous and earthy, with a faint sweetness. Longevity is high and projection moderate, which suits autumn and winter nights, dates and formal events.
