What does Issara smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays noticeable up close without filling a room. Most voters pick spring and fall, though it carries into summer too. Leisure, business and daily wear lead the occasions. Votes for masculine and feminine are nearly even, so it reads open to both.

It opens with clary sage and pine needle, cool and resinous. The heart brings vetiver, green notes and tonka bean, and the green turns a little sweeter. In the base, musk, oakmoss and ambergris settle it into a powdery, creamy, woody finish.
