Isfarkand
Isfarkand by Ormonde Jayne is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with lime, mandarin and bergamot, moves into pink pepper and dries down to cedarwood, vetiver and oakmoss. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lime Sharper and greener than lemon. Reads a bit tropical, a bit barbershop.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Heart
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Dry-down
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
