A citrus-oriental: this would be the nutshell summary of this scent; its name betrays the oriental side - it sounds like a merger of the two famous cities Isfahan
and Samarkand.
The citrus - I mainly get bergamot - opens the top notes, but soon a white pepper appears; further down he track they merge very nice in a well-balanced
fashion.
In the base a woodsy undertone appears, which is soon having a cedar-like component, and there is a slightly green touch that arises towards the end.
I get moderate sillage, good projection, and 4 hours of longevity on my skin. Overall not very complex or exciting, a bit linear but crafted solidly.
Just - barely - a thumbs up. 3/5
