About This Perfume
Issey Miyake Nuit d'Issey Bois Arctic comes across as fresh citrus and basil with smoky tobacco. It opens with grapefruit, mandarin orange and pink pepper, moves into basil, black pepper and geranium and settles on tobacco, tonka bean and vanilla. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is a daytime scent. A good pick for casual days. Released in 2021.
In the community's experience it lasts well into the evening, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fresh and sweet for casual days.

Issey Miyake is a Japanese heritage designer house whose fragrance line is defined by a clean-aquatic, minimalist-modern signature (the L'Eau d'Issey line launched in 1992 helped establish the aquatic genre). The catalogue is heavily fresh (17 of 27) with floral (5) and gourmand (2) flankers. The range leans masculine (13) then feminine (11). Prices sit in the designer band, about $16 to $160, most pieces near $70. Top accords are fresh, synthetic, woody, spicy and floral. Standout live picks: Nuit d'Issey Bois Arctic (fresh citrus and basil with smoky tobacco, $132), Le Sel d'Issey (cool sea breeze with ginger bite and cedar, $135), L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Yuzu (bright yuzu citrus with cool cedar breeze, $160), L'Eau Bleue d'Issey Pour Homme (cool citrus sea breeze with rosemary and cedar, $41.87), Le Sel d'Issey Parfum (salty ocean air with dark woods, $93.09).
