8Scent 7.5Longevity 5Sillage 7.5Bottle

And all that I can see is just gorgeous lemon-tree...

I'm sitting here in the boring room
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time
I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around
I'm waiting for you
Then something awesome happens and I wonder...

Wow, what a fragrance! I couldn't get enough of it. At first, the ethereal oil of lemon peel, just freshly grated for baking, is overwhelmingly beautiful.

A short time later, it smells fresh, citrusy, and juicy, where Annick Goutal's Eau d'Hadrian presents freshly squeezed lemon juice, here it is the freshly squeezed juice of a ripe lime - significantly less sour than the lemon.

A fine but clear sillage contributes to Iskander being perceived as beautifully fresh even from a distance, and its longevity surpasses (sorry, dear Annick) Eau d'Hadrian by quite a bit.

What wonderful lemons and limes are united here. Nothing else disturbs the fresh scent experience, no matter what else is mentioned in the pyramid.

Delightful! Especially without the rather unpleasant herbal note of Yuzu Fou and without the lemony sour note of Eau d'Hadrian.

If I didn't already have Eau d'Hadrian, I would buy Iskander immediately!
