Nuit Tatami

Nuit Tatami by Kenzo balances spice, sweetness and musk in equal measure, built on just four notes. Karine Dubreuil-Sereni composed it, it was released in 2022, and it is worn by anyone.

Pink pepper opens it with a light, rosy, sparkling spice. Rice brings a soft, slightly powdery, steamed-grain note, gentle and comforting, which ties in with the Japanese mood of the name. Ambrette, a plant-based musk with a faintly pear-like, velvety softness, gives the musky character, and vanilla adds a creamy, warm sweetness that rounds everything off.

Soft and intimate, it suits autumn and winter evenings, quiet nights in and relaxed dinners, as the word nuit, meaning night, suggests. Anyone who likes cosy, skin-like scents with a gentle sweetness and a hint of spice will find it a calm, comforting choice. It feels understated and modern rather than heavy, and works well for those who want a fragrance that stays close and personal.
