HeartThe Soul
The story behind the bottle.
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.
Apply Iskander in light layers to let its citrus top notes blend seamlessly with the woody base. The scent develops best when close to skin, so focus on pulse points for a more intimate experience.
