Issey Miyake Nuit d'Issey Austral Expedition is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2015, created by Loc Dong. Nuit d'Issey Austral Expedition opens with Lemon, Grapefruit, Lime, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Leather, Herbal, Lavender, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Coumarin, and Amberwood. Issey Miyake's Nuit d'Issey Austral Expedition carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This flanker offers a genuinely captivating opening that's arguably art; it's a shame the performance doesn't match its initial brilliance. A unique, fresh take on the Nuit d'Issey DNA that's sadly fleeting.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Nuit d'Issey Austral Expedition opens with a burst of zesty lime and grapefruit, sharpened by a distinct, almost icy coriander and mint. This vibrant citrus freshness transitions into a sophisticated heart of lavender, earthy geranium, and a subtle, refined leather. The drydown settles into a comforting base of smooth vetiver, warm amberwood, and a touch of sweet coumarin, leaving a gentle, masculine trail.
