Ishq Anfas 2018

After I recently bought the Salam from the same company, the Ishq has now followed. The price of this brand is quite steep, but if you get a discount, these fragrances are worth it. Especially as these fragrances are just so pleasing without being like one of many. When I saw that this Ishq was on offer, I quickly ordered a small bottle which totally won me over. It's just so beautiful and the strawberry note sticks in my mind like a catchy tune. The RRP of 305€ is quite a lot, but if you're looking for something special, you're not wrong here. This fragrance is very unique and definitely stands out from the crowd. A fragrance to feel good with these sensual and fruity notes that radiate a little warmth.

Packaging at Anfas is terrific. You get a great box that you can open. The details are beautifully forgiven in a metallic look. Here at Ishq there are also colorful metallic patterns and a great description in gold. Under Ishq is the poetic line: My love for you has no bounds. Definitely well made and does justice to the price.
The star of the creation is of course the strawberry. A note that is extremely rare in fragrances, especially as the main character. And if it is, it is extremely difficult to realize, as this note usually smells rather synthetic. Here you get a wonderful sweet-fruity strawberry. Simply very seductive and juicy, beautifully realized. Here you get a sophisticated fragrance that is somewhat playful due to the strawberry. Baccarat Rouge 540 (Eau de Parfum) | Maison Francis Kurkdjian" is listed here as a twin. Roughly speaking, they have a similar vibe, especially as they also share the notes saffron, jasmine and amber. However, the strawberry makes this fragrance special and sets it apart, so it doesn't have much to do with MFK. However, anyone looking for an alternative to this hackneyed BR400 could find it here.
Strawberry is the main protagonist for almost the entire fragrance. This is accompanied by sensual oriental saffron, which is rather mild compared to many fragrances with this note. A smooth jasmine note is also very present and lends this fragrance a gentle sensuality. A combo of amber and vanilla is also present and intensifies as it moves towards the drydown. For me, it's perfection overall, as I find this mixture of playful strawberry and sensual and cozy notes extremely good. I haven't worn this fragrance in the wild yet, but I'm sure that it stands out and will certainly bring many compliments. Whether for men or women.
Performance is really good. For the first few hours, you have a trail of fragrance permanently in your nose without appearing negative. Simply a great fragrance aura that makes you feel good. The longevity is also easily 12+ hours.

Overall, a wonderful, unique strawberry fragrance that I can't think of any other fragrance that goes in a similar direction. Baccarat Rouge in part, but here just with great strawberry. A fragrance that is best worn in the evening all year round. An enrichment for a broad collection, especially if you like sweet, sensual fragrances.
