Adad Drop

Ishtara · 2023

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Ishtara Adad Drop is a sweet, spicy oriental for men, built on saffron and honey with blackberry, pepper and amber. Saffron and honey lead, giving it a sweet, spicy character from the first spray. Blackberry adds a fruity note at the heart while pepper sharpens it, and amber dries down warm, resinous and a little smoky. Floral and synthetic tones appear among the accords, but the sweet and spicy side dominates. Longevity and sillage are rated good, though few votes back that up. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it is chosen most for nights out and evenings, with some votes for leisure and business wear. It reads as a masculine scent.

Ishtara · 2023

Fresh · Citrus · Fruity

In the heart, patchouli, pink pepper and jasmine add a spicy, woody depth to that freshness. The base of amber, musk and vanilla softens and sweetens the scent. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick spring and fall, and leisure, daily wear and evenings come up most often. Rammstein Paris and Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.

Assyria

6.9

Ishtara · 2023

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Ishtara Assyria is a sweet, spicy unisex fragrance built around saffron, rose, oud and leather. Saffron opens with a spicy warmth. In the heart, leather, rose and oud take the lead, with the floral side balanced by a leathery, woody backdrop. At the base, amber, vanilla, musk, sandalwood, patchouli and frankincense settle the scent into a sweet, oriental warmth. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so this rests on a limited sample. The dense, warm build suits cooler weather best, and it can sit comfortably on either men or women. Lattafa 24 Carat Pure Gold and Ojar Stallion Soul (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.

7.2

Ishtara · 2023

Floral · Sweet · Synthetic

The overall feel is floral, powdery and clearly sweet, with a slightly synthetic sheen. Longevity and sillage are rated good, though few people have voted on them. Voters pick it most for leisure and evenings; it also suits daytime, nights out and the office. Its soft character sits comfortably on men and women alike. Once Perfume Lipsens and Narciso Rodriguez For Her Fleur Musc (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.

Gilgamesh

6.4

Ishtara · 2023

Sweet · Synthetic · Spicy

Ishtara Gilgamesh is a unisex fragrance that pairs a sweet, spicy character with a woody, resinous base and a synthetic edge. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though both ratings rest on only a handful of votes. Voters spread it almost evenly across daytime, business, leisure and evening, with night out not far behind, so it isn't tied to one setting. It opens with jasmine and saffron, the saffron's spice meeting the sweetness. Amber sits in the heart and woods in the base, and the scent settles into something warm, woody and resinous.

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

Ishtara Nabu Destiny is a sweet, spicy and smoky woody oriental, made for both men and women. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Votes spread fairly evenly across leisure, evening, daily wear, a night out and business, so it isn't tied to one setting, though evenings and relaxed days come first.

Leathery notes close it in the base, keeping it warm and dark.
