Ishiki
6.5Suzy Larsen
Floral · Spicy · Woody
Suzy Larsen Ishiki is a unisex scent that pairs the sharpness of bitter orange, black pepper and ginger with a floral-spicy heart of jasmine and clove, resting on sandalwood and frankincense.
It opens with bitter orange, black pepper, ginger and red mandarin orange; the citrus here reads more spicy and bitter than sweet. In the heart, French ylang-ylang, jasmine and clove add a floral warmth that surrounds the spice without softening it. The base of costus, sandalwood and frankincense settles into a woody, resinous, earthy ground. The overall feel is oriental and smoky, with leathery and animalic touches staying in the background.
Its profile is close to Guy Laroche J'ai Osé and Gritti Florian.
