What does Nuit d'Issey Austral Expedition smell like?

Citrus and green accords lead: lime and coriander give it a bright, lightly spicy feel. Vetiver and amberwood set that freshness on a woody, earthy base, while gentian adds a floral touch that softens the green.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick autumn and spring, though summer is not far behind. It is chosen mainly for leisure and business, with evening and night-out wear close behind. Creed Bois du Portugal and Laboratorio Olfattivo Esvedra have a close profile.
