Rogue Perfumery Ishtar is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2020, created by Manuel Cross. Rogue Perfumery's Ishtar carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one is an absolute chameleon, equally praised for its clean, fresh, and soapy profile as it is for its rich, resinous, and churchy incense. It's a divisive but undeniably unique scent, and certainly not a safe blind buy.

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.

Despite its long-lasting performance, Ishtar leans clean and fresh, making it surprisingly suitable for casual and even sport wear, as noted by several reviewers. Its unique character and moderate sillage prevent it from being overtly formal or too overpowering for an office setting, though it's still quite versatile.

About

Ishtar opens with an invigorating burst of juniper, sharp and almost gin-like, softened by a subtle, creamy lily note. As it settles, a complex resinous heart emerges, blending the silvery, ethereal frankincense with the sweet, balsamic warmth of benzoin and myrrh. The base is a smooth, clean musk and sandalwood, providing a comforting and lasting finish that retains a fresh, almost soapy quality throughout.
