Orientica Ishraq is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Ishraq opens with Kumquat and Lime, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Iris, Violet, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Orientica's Ishraq carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A creamy, powdery-sweet dream that sadly disappears faster than your last weekend, Ishraq is a beloved but fleeting identical twin to Junoon Noir. If you crave that vanilla-dusted violet vibe but don't mind reapplying often, this is your jam.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Given its moderate sillage and poor longevity, Ishraq is best suited for casual wear or intimate dates where you don't need a scent to project heavily. Its sweet and powdery profile makes it a bit too informal for strict office or formal settings, and certainly not for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Opens with a zesty, almost candied kumquat and lime, quickly smoothing into a creamy, powdery heart of orris, violet, and delicate white florals. The dry down is a comforting, milky blend of sandalwood, vanilla, and a soft musk. Think elegant powder room meets a dessert trolley.
