Ispahan (for women)

Maryel

I received a special delivery package from Jalutschka and now have a "sample" of Ispahan (re-issue)! I did a bit of research and here are the fragrance notes:

Top: mandarin, bergamot
Middle: jasmine, ylang-ylang
Base: benzoin, tonka bean, vanilla, nutmeg

This does last a long time on my skin and I've used just a few drops of it. I definitely get the mandarin and bergamot top notes and those seem to stay through the dry down. Jasmine & ylang-ylang meld quite well together in the heart and not too sweet. It's the base notes, especially the benzoin and nutmeg, which expands this fragrance’s spicy warmth. You must truly LOVE spicy orientals in order to appreciate Ispahan. It's a classic by Yves Rocher and one I hope they always have in their repertoire.

To Sherihan.
Re-editions of Ispahan, Venice and Vie Privee you can buy only in the shops of Yves Rocher, but not online (at least, where I live, they are not offered online).
I tested Ispahan and Venice yesterday. Can't compare the aromas to "primary ones", as I didn't know them before. Both perfumes are very nice.

"New" Ispahan is mild-spicy, very pleasant warm oriental perfume. Unfortunately, didn't seem to be long lasting. Would like to test it again.

Dear Nuppu, what you are telling is correct,I found them in Paris, so I bought Vie Privee and thought I will buy the rest from any website.But now I dont finde them anywhere, even the official website.Can anyone tell us new news

Nuppu

Spidercat, there's now re-editions on Ispahan, Venice and Vie Privee (in Europe, don't know how things are elsewhere) ), check your nearest YR shop or their website.

Many years ago, Yves Rocher had a small shop in the Argyle Arcade in Glasgow.
This was my first encounter with the perfume, Ispahan. I fell in love with it immediately, and it became the only perfume I wore.
It was so dark and velvety and sensual.
And, of course, one day the shop closed down. And, then I heard that they had discontinued Ispahan.
I moved on to Opium, and to Chanel Coco, as I prefer the Oriental scents, but I have always missed Ispahan.
But, I am curious, I occasionally see Ispahan on sale in ebay... has anyone bought any.. are they the real thing..?

One of the classic & most gorgeous of the Yves Rocher fragrances. I have only a tiny tin of the perfume crème left in my possession, but it is a delight to try on once in a while for reminiscing. It's a glorious fragrance for wearing on special occasions or if you have a special evening planned with your guy. I believe there must also be incense, sandalwood and cinnamon notes in this mysterious, intriguing perfume. It takes you to far away places with sand dunes and moonlit starry nights....
