What does Ishq smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters recommend autumn and spring, followed by winter, and nights out and evenings come up more often than office wear. Feminine and masculine readings sit close together, so it fits an unisex description.
Saffron and jasmine open it, while raspberry and amber bring a fruity warmth to the heart. In the base, talcum, oakmoss and vanilla settle it into a powdery, creamy, oriental sweetness. Anfas Ishq Special and Monkoku Aşk-ı Lâl have a close profile.
