The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2012 by Rania J, Rose Ishtar is a fragrance that captures the essence of lasting elegance. Created by perfumer Rania Jouaneh, this Oriental Floral composition opens with the bright zest of cassis and bergamot before diving into the heart-stopping beauty of Damask rose and Bulgarian rose. The base notes of patchouli, musk, heliotrope, sandalwood, and vanilla provide a warm, powdery embrace that lingers long after the initial floral burst.
Apply Rose Ishtar lightly to pulse points — the warmth of your skin will activate its powdery and floral heart notes. It's best worn in cooler temperatures, as the rich base notes can feel heavy during warmer weather.
