I breathe in... I breathe out... and the sun rises!

Somehow, Isis was on my watchlist :)
The beautiful comment from Palonera sealed the deal, and Isis landed untested from the watchlist to the wishlist, coinciding with a great Souk offer from a lovely perfumer that I couldn't pass up :)
But Isis is not a bargain, and then blind?
I quickly gathered some information about the fragrance that was already reserved for me, and a dear scent fairy even filled a small sample and sent it to me right away. I want to sincerely thank everyone involved :)
Actually, I could have saved all that... Isis is simply divine!
I breathe in... I breathe out... and the sun rises! This beautiful fragrance is an absolute mood lifter. Isis caresses the soul and envelops me in golden rays. She embraces me and kisses my skin.
About the scent:
Isis starts sweet-citrusy. As it develops, it becomes bright and clear with a green hint that is not intrusive and reminds me of the awakening of spring. The notes of the pyramid are hard to filter out here. However, the interplay of these notes already creates a harmonious scent picture.
A fresh peach is now also perceptible. No overripe or mushy fruit. It smells fresh-fruity and simultaneously sweet. Slowly, caramel comes into play, taking away some of the freshness from the fragrance. Anise and heliotrope? Hmm... in combination with nutmeg, that could be responsible for the now recognizable spiciness. From here on, Isis is for me a sweet-oriental gourmand!
With amber and vanilla surrounded by balsamic notes, we move into the base. Isis now provides warmth and becomes deeper and sensual.
A hint of musk is now also noticeable, accompanied by woody notes. But where do they come from... Lorenox? I had to Google again... Lorenox™ is a fragrance ingredient that is said to have woody, amber-like, and leathery facets. And that definitely aligns with my scent perception.
I find the longevity to be completely fine at 8-9 hours. Isis is well perceivable but not overpowering...
you are surrounded by a beautiful, bright scent aura.
Unisex? No!
Isis is a very feminine fragrance, and I can't imagine it on any man, no matter how hard I try.
Isis is always wearable. Especially when one longs for sun and warmth.
The bottle is typical for Agonist and beautiful. The scent pyramid is displayed on the front of the bottle.
Conclusion:
I breathe in... I breathe out... and the sun rises. Isis ... you brighten and lift the mood. Sweet-oriental-gourmand. Beautiful!
Isis... you divine fragrance... I never want to be without you again. Highly recommended!!!

Bittersweet tangerine and synthetic wood :D and caramel... unfortunately, he had to move out because he hit me:)) all of them are very dense scents, there's nothing else... My goodness, if I read THUMBS again... I'll hand out a round for free... but downwards! :D:D:D

It just didn't blow me away. Should I give it another try? I don't think it's really made for me.

First of all: who, please, finds such a comment not helpful enough???? What did you two miss in that comment? The scent description is there, personal experience with the fragrance as well, context is provided, and the appearance is described.... Everything that could be evaluated and categorized has been mentioned by Sweetsmell. Honestly. Just don't read comments; for people like you, there's the fragrance pyramid. You're overwhelmed further down :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Unisex(?)! ~ absolutely! ~ "I breathe in... I breathe out...", or even a "Breathless!" during a dancing Caribbean Beach Night! Of course, also for men! PAH! ... I'm shifting from 2:2 to a 3:2! :)
