Launched in 2005 by Ormonde Jayne, Isfarkand is a Woody Chypre fragrance crafted by perfumer Geza Schoen. The composition opens with bright citrus notes like lime and bergamot, which are immediately grounded by the earthy richness of vetiver and cedar. Pink pepper adds a subtle spice that cuts through the sweetness of the top notes without overpowering them. This balance between freshness and warmth creates an atmosphere that is both invigorating and enveloping.

Application Tips
Isfarkand's top notes are bright but short-lived, so apply two sprays to ensure the woody base has time to develop. The scent reads better close to skin than in a room, making it ideal for daytime wear when you want something that feels intimate and personal.

The story behind the bottle.
The crisp, earthy scent of a garden in the early morning — where dew-kissed citrus blends seamlessly with the rich soil and the subtle spiciness of fresh herbs.
