Ishatar Citrus Oud
Fragrance notes
Character
Sunlight warms the terrace stones while a breeze carries mandarin orange across the air, its bright peel touched by the gentle heat of cardamom. The citrus feels fresh rather than sharp, sitting comfortably beside a jasmine that offers a soft white floral breath without leaning powdery. Beneath that floral layer, the wood begins to show. Cedar provides a dry, steady backbone while patchouli adds an earthy depth that keeps the fruit from floating away. Oud enters with a resinous weight, smooth and slightly animalic, giving the blend a serious character that still feels open under the sky. Musk rounds the edges so the transition from spice to wood happens without a harsh line. The overall impression is warm spicy and woody, with the citrus acting as a lively opening that lingers near the florals while the heavier notes build their quiet structure.
The air smells of mandarin, cardamom, jasmine, cedar, patchouli, musk, and oud all at once, each one clear yet folded into the next. The composition feels crafted by Angeline Leporini to balance freshness with deep resin, so the orange never loses its place even as the oud grows more present. It suits a man who enjoys spice and wood but wants daylight to stay in the mix, and it asks for attention without demanding a room. The mandarin flickers against the cedar while the patchouli anchors the jasmine, and the musk carries the oud forward as the terrace light shifts across the stone
