Nuit d'Issey Bleu Astral

Nuit d'Issey Bleu Astral by Issey Miyake, released in 2017, is a men's fragrance that people describe as spicy, woody, ambery, leathery and citrusy in equal measure, a compact composition built on a handful of notes.

Lime opens with a sharp, zesty brightness, and coriander adds a fresh, slightly peppery and aromatic spice. The heart and base bring a smooth leather, more suede than jacket, which gives the scent its darker character. Woody notes and amberwood finish it with a dry, warm and slightly mineral woodiness that carries the leather through the drydown.

The contrast between bright lime and dark leather makes it versatile: fresh enough for the office, but best on cooler days and in the evening. It suits someone who likes clean, modern leather fragrances with a citrus spark and no heavy sweetness.
