Istanbul presents as a distinctive, spicy-woody fragrance with an aromatic heart and a modern woody base.
The opening consists of cardamom, grapefruit, nutmeg, and cinnamon – a combination that opens the fragrance warmly, spicily, and at the same time freshly thanks to the citrus spark of grapefruit. At the heart are lavender and coumarin. Lavender provides aromatic cleanliness, while coumarin brings a gently sweet, almost tobacco-like undertone that softens and rounds out the fragrance. The base is formed by ambroxan, licorice, and vetiver. Ambroxan adds a modern, mineral-woody trail, licorice adds a sweet, spicy depth, and vetiver closes the composition with dry, elegant wood.
Overall, Istanbul presents as an intense, spicy-aromatic fragrance with long-lasting wear and a distinctive character.
