The soft version of Nuit d'Issey EdT
The Nuit d'Issey EdT is one of my absolute favourite fragrances. I was accordingly excited to see how the perfume version smells.
The main difference for my nose is that the EdT opens up "shriller" and more citric than the EdP, which smells softer and more harmonious from the start. Interestingly, the whole thing turns around in the further course: After a few hours, the initial freshness has almost disappeared in the EdT, while in the EdP it is even noticeable the next day(!). Then, however, it is less of a citric nature, but reminds a little of anise.
Which is better? It's hard to say. The EdT looks more unadapted and individual. However, the EdP has an elegance that the EdT does not have.

Mint ice cream plus waffle with icing sugar plus a hint of cigarette smoke
Curious about the other comments, I tested Ultaviolet Man (UM) yesterday. And it is once again interesting how individually different perception is. The fragrance is unusual and innovative because it stands out from the rest. However, I had expected a techno-futuristic impact and an EdT, which for example could carry a character in "Tron". The design of the bottle also awakens such associations in me.
Instead UM reminds me of a summer evening in a street café in Italy. In front of me stands a peppermint ice cream with a warm waffle powdered with icing sugar. And my counterpart is lighting a cigarette whose smoke mixes a little with the mint aroma and the sweetness of the waffle. Since hardly anyone smokes today, this scenario is also in the past - which gives the whole a slightly nostalgic touch.
Before someone feels deterred by the "cigarette smoke" aroma: This is extremely discreet and stays in the background. Overall I find UM to be very pleasant and harmonious. He's out of the question for me for now. I find it too soft and too sweet.
