What does Iskander smell like?

It lasts and projects at a moderate level, so it stays close without filling the room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and work come up most often. More voters call it masculine than feminine, though a good share read it as feminine.

The citrus leads the impression: citron, grapefruit and mandarin. Tarragon and coriander add a green, spicy edge, while neroli brings a soft floral touch. Oakmoss gives the chypre a dry, woody footing, and Tonkin musk and Arabian ambergris smooth it out.
