Unique'e Luxury 2018 Extrait
Istanbul
by Jorge Lee , Sylvain Cara
Unique'e Luxury Istanbul is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Jorge Lee and Sylvain Cara. Istanbul opens with Wine Grape, Citrus, Lemon, and Tea, settles into a heart of Neroli, Jasmine, Geranium, and Pink Pepper, and dries down to a base of Toffee, Woody, Musk, and Vanilla. Unique'e Luxury's Istanbul carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.
This is a divisive one. Many hail it as the superior, powerhouse sibling to Kilian's Love Don't Be Shy, boasting exceptional performance and a refined sweetness. Others find it cloyingly sweet, unoriginal, or in its newer formulations, lacking the beast-mode projection it once had. Try before you buy, it's not a safe blind purchase.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
Its potent projection and inherent sweetness make it too distracting for an office environment. However, the luxurious, sensual character derived from its gourmand and white floral accords makes it perfectly suited for dates and formal events, though perhaps a bit much for casual daytime wear given its strength.
