Nuit Tatami is a delicate, soft gourmand scent centered around rice and vanilla, with subtle floral, musky, and soft spicy notes. It evokes the quiet warmth of a traditional Japanese tatami room — airy, powdery, and warmly inviting, with a pronounced vanilla and musk base. The scent is extremely close to the skin, with intimate sillage and minimal projection, making it ideal for daytime wear, especially during autumn and winter. Many describe it as cozy, elegant, and understated — like a whisper of skincare with a touch of sweetness. It isn’t loud or bold; rather, it enhances your natural scent with a subtle sweet veil. A few commenters note a surprising powdery iris-like quality, while others find the vanilla and rice notes more abstract than literal, lacking a strong 'foody' rice character. The fragrance has low longevity and light performance — more suited to EDT than EDP — and is best suited for cooler weather.
