For the launch of his new fragrance for men, Issey Miyake carries us into the heart of a mysterious night.

A classic of Issey Miyake men’s fragrances, the bottle is dressed in black to celebrate the night. Crafted to blend shadow and light, the glass changes from a smoky gradation to a streaked black, an abstract monochrome etched into the material itself. The box also conveys the contrast, the variation of the two black tones that adorn the bottle, separated by a symbolic horizon line.

Sharp, crisp and mysterious, the fragrance is an ode to wood. The top notes feature the bright, zesty bite of tangy citrus accords. In the middle notes, the fragrance follows a mysterious trail where a leather accord emerges, enhanced with spices and black pepper and laden with wood and vetiver.

In the base notes, potency takes shape. The attraction of rich, textured accords – ‘black’ woods, patchouli and incense – extends into the exquisite, smooth sweetness of tonka bean.
