What does Rose Ishtar smell like?

The top pairs blackcurrant bud absolute with bergamot for a fruity, fresh start. Bulgarian damask rose takes the heart. In the base, sandalwood, patchouli, musk, vanilla and heliotropin soften the rose and add a sweet, powdery depth with a touch of spice.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter ahead of summer. Votes spread across daily wear, evenings, leisure, nights out and the office. Most voters read it as feminine.
