Isvaraya Indult for women

This is an interesting, amazing, absolutely fascinating fragrance. It opens with incredible Indian plum tree and jasmin, the drydown is a little bit heavier with patchouli accords. Great staying power. Another masterpiece created by incredibly talented Francis Kurkdjian. Thank you, Mr. Kurkdjian. You are simply the best!

This quirky little sent grabbed my attention when I first started exploring perfumes and became the second bottle I ever bought myself.

In trying to describe this, a few images come to mind. One is the leather jacket I wore in college. I liked to keep it on while bar hopping because It was part of my ‘wardrobe’ and I didn’t want to risk having it stolen. The bars, of course, were always warm. My leather jacket was light weight and dusty from wear, and had a silk lining to protect the interior. Over time this lining developed a specific smell: muskiness from my warm body mixed with leather. While neither of these notes is listed in Isvaraya, I do detect them.

The second image is from a day spent in the Italian Riviera, when my SO and I found a winding, overgrown path that led from the summit of a medieval town. The uneven path clung to a rocky, windswept hillside that overlooked the sea ahead. Unexpectedly we found ourselves in a grove of gnarled olive and lemon trees, which were providing shade for colorful clusters of wild flowers. In any other setting the grove wouldn’t have caught our eye; but here, with the ancient town above us, the sea ahead of us and medieval homes all around us, it was just magical. I can still smell the fruity, floral tinged air intermixing with the warmth radiating from the rocky path.

This is the experience I get with Isvaraya.

Strong yet classy, a little dirtied up by the patchouli/jasmine combo. A heady, vintage rose given an extra kick of originality from the plum note...absolutely rich. The drydown is incredible and it lasts for ages!

Gorgeous intense unisex oriental scent! I could only test in Paris. Impressive!

p.s. oh, and the name is quite something :-)

Wow, this is a beautiful fragrance! Very oriental to my nose. Started out sweet with the plum and jasmine, then the dry-down was heavy and thick with patchouli and musk. Excellent lasting power (going on ten hours!) Better-suited for evening in my opinion.

Intoxicating, great staying power, really special
