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.

Date

Its moderate sillage and clean, fresh profile make it an excellent choice for the office and casual daytime wear, as noted by several reviewers. While pleasant, it lacks the bolder presence typically desired for formal events or evening dates, though its refreshing qualities are great for sport or warm weather.

About

Iskander opens with a bright burst of authentic citrus, predominantly sharp citron, lemon, and juicy grapefruit, tempered by hints of green mandarin. This invigorating freshness gradually gives way to an aromatic heart where neroli and orange blossom add a soft floral touch, seamlessly blended with the herbaceous whisper of tarragon and a subtle spice from coriander. The journey culminates in a refined base of earthy oakmoss, warm amber, and a clean musk, lending a timeless, elegant depth.
