He smells to me like a long, extensively danced through night. Some things blurred, some inhibitions became secondary, some things disappeared the next day, but one thing is for sure: the scent remains, if not on your skin, then in your head. And not just in your own.

Frankly, I wouldn't buy another bottle, and I'm probably going to give it to a guy I work with. For my money, Prada Amber Intense does the whole sexy dark myrrh thing way better, and that's a frag I've reviewed and I think gave a perfect 10/10. It too melds myrrh, patchouli and leather together with fantastic performance and it oozes sex appeal.Nuit d'Issey is so similar to Layton by PdM, though older, that I suspect it served a (perhaps big) little bit as a template. Issey Miyake is yes for a long time and rightly one of the larger manufacturers on the market, on which also houses like Marly should orientate. Price: 9/10. I got it for around 40 dollars on the secondary, which is a very fair price for a fragrance of this nature. And there he also wants to arrive well. The super fresh and somewhat sweet start of soft citrus wakes you up first again, before you are attracted by the well-harmonizing spices. A powerful mix of pepper, wood and leather. Definitely very masculine. Very present, alerting, but not penetrating. However, we then like to go a little deeper to explore more detail about the product by looking at products in the same category as Issey Miyake Nuit D’Issey Noir Argent EDP Spray. That then tells us that there are 2327 products in the Fragrance category at Fragrancedirect.

It's night, still warm but more bearable. Shops and restaurants line up and countless spices hang in the air, rising to your nose. Your olfactory memory makes you smile. It smells somehow always the same but still a little bit different every time. You will also store this smell and keep it for the cold days at home.

Originality: 7/10. There's not much on the designer market that smells like this in the opening. Even though I say it smells like Alien Man in the drydown, Alien is sort of weird and unique in it's own way. Because of my "Spleen's" monthly to increase my collection of flacons / scents, my wife is rather reticent with compliments what my scents concern. But here she came all by herself and said, "smells very good". That means something! Normally I focus on fresh, aquatic, or on Tonka fragrances. This one's different, it's different. I don't want to lift him up on a gallery, just to say he doesn't have to hide. He fits perfectly to the cold season and also to the short days - and as his name suggests - of course to the night :)

I'm a big fan of the Miyake house in general. Their original fragrance was/is one of the better mainstream male aquatics on the market. It combined monstrous performance, a genuine unique and pleasing smell and competitive price, and despite over 2 decades on the market there are very few frags that I can say smell like it. Perry Ellis did a decent clone but other than that it's profile remains unique. I think it's due to the juxtaposition of sour citrus and strong florals, until Dior Homme came about mainstream men's frags had been adverse to floral notes for years. Smell: 6/10. It's near perfect at the opening but the drydown is generic and hard for me to even smell. The opening is dominated by a sharp, lemon tinged myrrh. I hate to say things like "iT sMeLLs NiCHe LiKE" but the opening notes don't really smell like what I would call standard designer men's frags. Basically you aren't getting hit with myrrh or any incense really if you're hanging out in the men's frag section of Nordstroms. No the incense in Bleu De Chanel doesn't count. Yes you can fight me. The opening hour doesn't smell as refined or focused as the myrrh in Armani's Myrrh Imperiale but I feel it evolves more and shows the different facets of myrrh.

Performance: 5/10. It's hard to score this one because I know it lasts 12-14 hours but if I can't smell it, how do I mark this up?
