Issey Miyake Nuit D'Issey Eau de Toilette performs optimally in cooler weather and during evening events, making it a perfect companion for formal gatherings, romantic dinners, or nights out. The fragrance evolves beautifully, starting with a bright citrus burst that quickly mellows into its spicy, leathery heart. This transition reveals the sophisticated complexity of black pepper and vetiver, which is then grounded by the deep, resonant base notes of ebony, patchouli, incense, and tonka bean.
Application Tips:
For best results, apply to pulse points such as wrists, neck, and behind the ears. These areas generate heat, which helps to diffuse the fragrance throughout the day or evening.
Hold the bottle approximately 5-7 inches (12-18 cm) away from your skin before spraying.
Start with 1-2 sprays; you can always add more if desired, but applying too much can be overwhelming.
Avoid rubbing the fragrance into your skin after application, as this can break down the scent molecules and alter the fragrance's intended development.
Consider applying to moisturized skin, as hydration can help the scent adhere better and last longer.
This product requires no complex setup; it is ready to use directly from the bottle. Ensure the cap is securely replaced after each use to prevent evaporation and maintain the fragrance's integrity.
Compatibility:
Nuit D'Issey is designed as a standalone fragrance. While some individuals enjoy layering scents, this Eau de Toilette has a complex profile that is best appreciated on its own.
It generally complements unscented body lotions or deodorants to avoid conflicting aromas.
Product Care & Storage:
Store in a Cool, Dark Place: Direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and humidity can degrade the fragrance over time. Keep the bottle in its original box or a drawer, away from windows and heat sources (like radiators or bathroom cabinets).
Keep Upright: Always store the bottle upright to prevent leakage and preserve the spray mechanism.
Avoid Shaking: Excessive shaking is generally not recommended, as it can introduce air into the bottle and potentially affect the fragrance composition.
Keep Out of Reach of Children: Store in a secure location to prevent accidental ingestion or misuse.
