First Generation

Name: First Generation Eau de Parfum
Brand: Perfume Parlour

Perfume Parlour First Generation is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. First Generation opens with Bergamot and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Woody, Leather, Vetiver, and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Tonka Bean, and Incense. Perfume Parlour's First Generation carries a Statement verdict, a leather-led wear.

First Generation tracks Nuit d'Issey Miyake's dark, peppery-leather signature - black pepper over smoky woods, patchouli and tonka. The bones are right, but it renders flatter and skin-close where the original projects a richer, smokier leather and holds longer.

About

A budget take on Issey Miyake's brooding Nuit d'Issey, First Generation opens with a sharp grapefruit-and-bergamot lift that quickly cedes to the heart everyone wears this for: cracked black pepper wrapped around supple leather, with vetiver and dry woods adding grain. The drydown leans into patchouli, a thread of incense smoke and sweet tonka, echoing the original's masculine, slightly gourmand warmth. Against the real Nuit d'Issey it reads more two-dimensional - the leather is less buttery, the incense thinner, and projection stays close to the skin rather than throwing the smoky cloud the parfum does. Longevity is moderate, fading toward a soft woody-sweet skin scent after a few hours. Still, for the money it captures the autumn-and-winter, after-dark mood convincingly: peppery, leathery and confidently masculine, best deployed on cooler evenings and date nights rather than as an all-day office scent.
