Issara Dusita 2016

Unfortunately, the Issara did not really convince me. This fragrance is barely perceptible on my skin. At 4 to 5 hours, the shelf life is correspondingly short and the sillage is also not particularly noteworthy.

The top note smells green and spicy of hay and garden herbs such as clary sage, tarragon and thyme. The heart note briefly turns woody and resinous with a hint of woodruff. It then smells creamy, powdery and sweet like tonka beans. The base remains somewhat sweet with aromas of ambergris, bourbon vanilla and some musk.

Unfortunately, these aromas are rather subtle in this fragrance. I don't know if it's because of my skin, but I'm not happy here. The Issara is not bad, but I was honestly hoping for more. Many thanks to Nick for the bottling.
