Ishtar Rogue

Ishtar Rogue is a fresh, clean, and linear scent that evokes the impression of a high-quality men's aftershave or premium body wash, with a pronounced soapy and resinous character. Its opening features sharp, aromatic juniper and olibanum (frankincense), balanced by a soft floral hint from lily and musk, creating a bright yet grounding profile. The fragrance quickly settles into a cool, waxy, and slightly sweet amber note, enhanced by sandalwood and myrrh, delivering an almost polished clean vibe. It feels modern and minimalist rather than theatrical or smoky, with the incense and resin notes lingering throughout the longevity, though with diminishing intensity over time. Most users find it to be very well-executed, but notable for its linear structure and not elaborate transformation—its restraint is both a strength and limitation. Some experience it as radiant and deeply wearable, while others find it faint or underdeveloped. The scent is largely unisex, with an affinity leaning toward masculine-leaning clean sensibility, from the cool silkiness of a refined bathroom to a moss-covered temple. Performance is inconsistent: some note strong projection and long wear, especially on fabric or in cooler climates, while others find it fades quickly after the first few hours. It performs best in autumn and winter, but mid-season wear is possible in moderate or cooler climates.
