Launched in 2006 by Parfum d'Empire, Iskander is a Woody Chypre creation that marries the freshness of citrus with the depth of mossy and woody accords. Marc-Antoine Corticchiato crafted this composition to balance bright top notes like citron and amalfi lemon with the earthy richness of oakmoss and musk. The result is a fragrance that feels both grounded and invigorating, capturing the essence of a crisp morning in a lush forest.
