Nuit D'Issey Noir Argent by ISSEY MIYAKE Eau de Parfum Spray 100ml

Product Information

I'm not saying this because I'm a cost snob prissy fragrance fanatic. Some of my favorite frags are cheap cheap cheap CHEEEEAAAAAPPPPPPPIIIIIIIEEEEEEEESSSSS inexpensive. And I'm fine with certain frags with high levels of IsoE (Terre D'Hermes) or Ambroxan (Sauvage). Hell the entire genre of fougeres wouldn't exist without them.The problem is when high levels of these molecules are used as the base instead of bolstering other notes, I can't smell anything. Think of the difference between sprinkling salt on a steak and covering it with a pound of salt. Night soul perfume and for cold or temperate climates. His dark heart of leather, spices and incense, which despite having that fresh vibe, is not a scent that I see diurnally, anyway, everyone will use it as they prefer, yes, I think that with the heat it would not be Very good ally.

The first hour is absolutely lovely, impressive work for any fragrance, and if it stayed like that this would easily be one of my favorite fragrances of all time.In terms of duration is fine, between 6 and 7 hours in skin, with a moderate projection from the beginning. He fits perfectly to the cold season and also to the short days - and as his name suggests - of course to the night :)

This is my second review. I am far from having a clue. Still, I love the idea of what the architect must have been thinking. Now this is my interpretation:Late in the evening on the beach, you sit down with a group of Thais and Europeans at the campfire. All sorts of woods flame together and dance in the moonlight. You are deeply relaxed and holding on to every second, because you know everything is in motion and fleeting.... 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. I think most of the flankers were well executed, Intense, Yuzu, Bleu, etc. Sure they went a little bat shit with the 500 hundred summer variations but they are far from alone in that travesty. I was thrilled when the Nuit line came out and marked a radical departure from the original's DNA, and as the years progress more Nuit flankers hit the market. They've branched out over the years and released several fragrances that straddle the imaginary line between designer accessibility and niche artistry like their Ambre and Encens releases. Noir Argent is a flanker of Nuit that builds on the sweet leather DNA of the original but takes it in a new direction.

I admit I am getting older and smoking for years damaged my sense of smell but I know I'm not alone on this. And when I do smell a drydown that's heavy on aromachemicals it smells hazy to me. It's hard to describe, but it's the olfactory equivalent of trying to read a book without your glasses. I know what's there, and if I squint I can make it out but it's unpleasant, fuzzy and I get a headache. And the problem is one that seems to be increasing with recent releases from the past ten years or so. 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.The fragrance was a Christmas gift to me. And thank God, alone I would probably not have come up with the idea to buy him. Smell: 6/10. It's near perfect at the opening but the drydown is generic and hard for me to even smell. The base notes are Myrrh, Patchouli, Labdanum and Vetiver which offer a classic foundation for a long lasting, yet not overpowering, fragrance that will help you express your individuality while feeling fresh all day. 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? Issey Miyake aftershave has a reputation for having unique fragrances and a refreshing effect. 'Noir Argent' is no exception, this masculine scent was developed by Master Perfumer Dominique Ropion and is unlike any other.
