Yves Rocher Ispahan is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1977, created by Maurice Roucel. Ispahan opens with Fruity, Bergamot, Mandarin, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Lily Of The Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Yves Rocher's Ispahan carries an Acquired verdict, a yellow floral-led wear.

A divisive yet treasured classic, Ispahan evokes a bold, mysterious allure. Many find it "sexy" and "sensual", though some deem it too heavy or "old" for modern tastes. If you seek a statement scent, this enchanting oriental is worth seeking out.

About

Ispahan opens with a powerful aldehydic and fruity blast, quickly giving way to a rich bouquet of yellow florals like mimosa and ylang-ylang, spiced with clove and cinnamon. The heart is intertwined with rose and jasmine, settling into a deep, warm base of amber, vanilla, and various balsams, underscored by creamy sandalwood and earthy patchouli. It's an intoxicating blend of sweet, spicy, and resinous notes.
