Nuit D Issey
Dark citrus sharpened by leather and wood for the midnight shift
It hits with an immediate, bitter jolt of grapefruit and bergamot, rapidly pulling toward a dry, spice-forward heart of black pepper. The transition is stark—moving from the initial fruitiness into a shadow of leather and blackened ebony wood. As it settles, a backdrop of vetiver and incense provides a cooling, mineral depth that holds its ground in humid air. It stays close to the skin, lingering with a low-hum of tonka bean and earthy patchouli that outlasts the night.
