Swiss Arabian Ishq is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Miroslav Petkov. Ishq opens with Pepper and Saffron, settles into a heart of Rose, Carnation, and Sage, and dries down to a base of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha and Leather. Swiss Arabian's Ishq carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This is a love-it-or-hate-it kind of frag. Some find it a beautifully blended, complex spicy leather for sophisticated evenings. Others find it overwhelming and synthetic, with a cloying sweetness that spoils the ride. Try before you 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.

Also Works:
Casual

Its bold projection and rich, warm spicy-leather profile make it a strong contender for cooler weather, evening dates, and formal events, resonating with user descriptions of 'expensive' and 'dressed up'. The intensity means it's less suited for daily casual wear or the office, where it could overwhelm.

About

Ishq opens with a bold, almost pungent blast of pepper and saffron, immediately announcing its presence. This gives way to a distinctive heart of spicy carnation and a soft Turkish rose, wrapped in a prominent, smooth leather. As it settles, an earthy, woody depth emerges from the cypriol, creating a rich, long-lasting drydown with a persistent subtle sweetness.
