Istanbul IST

Istanbul IST opens with a bright clash of citrus and spice—bergamot and grapefruit cut through warm cardamom and clove, edged with tart red berries and the resinous breath of elemi. The heart unfolds into something softer and more floral: litchi and raspberry nestle against rose and violet, rounded by pepper's gentle heat and a whisper of honeyed sweetness, while lotus petals drift through. As it settles, woodsy notes and sandalwood ground the composition in warm amber, with cinnamon embers glowing beneath musk—a sensual, spiced finish that recalls the layered warmth of a bazaar at dusk.
