What does Babylon Ballad Ischtar Edition smell like?

The notes read as a single whole rather than a top, heart and base. Oakmoss, jasmine and patchouli carry most of the weight, while labdanum, cedarwood and vetiver build a woody, resinous floor. Orange and lavender add freshness, and caraway brings a spicy edge. The accords also include sweet, creamy, fruity and leathery sides.

Longevity and sillage are rated strong, though with few votes so far this is a tentative impression. It suits men and women alike and has a rich, dense character. Elixir Attar Babylon Ballad and Amouage Beloved Man have a close profile.
