How does Ishraq perform in terms of longevity?+−
This fragrance is known for its impressive staying power. Most users find that it lasts through a full workday and into the evening, with the creamy vanilla and musk base notes remaining detectable on the skin long after the initial citrus fades.
Is this fragrance suitable for office wear?+−
Yes, it is a popular choice for professional settings. Because the scent profile emphasizes clean florals like iris and lily of the valley alongside a smooth sandalwood base, it projects an image of being polished and "clean" rather than overly provocative.
Does Ishraq lean more floral or more gourmand?+−
It balances both styles. While the heart is heavily focused on powdery florals like violet and iris, the dry down is distinctly gourmand due to the prominent vanilla and creamy sandalwood accords.
How do the citrus top notes affect the overall scent?+−
The kumquat and lime are most noticeable in the first 15 to 30 minutes. They provide a necessary brightness that cuts through the heavier base notes, ensuring the fragrance starts with a fresh, uplifting energy before it settles into its creamier character.
