Ishraq is a soft, creamy gourmand with a powdery floral heart dominated by orris, violet, and vanilla, lifted by a bright kumquat and lime top note. It carries a dream-like, nostalgic quality—reminiscent of white chocolate mousse, marshmallow powder, and smooth sandalwood—wrapped in a delicate musk that gives it a cozy, intimate finish. The scent evokes fairy tale desert imagery, with warm vanilla and cedar in the base, creating a feminine, sweet, and slightly opulent aura. Many describe it as comparable to Al Haramain Junoon Noir, though Ishraq's longevity is notably weaker, with moderate sillage and average performance across seasons, particularly well-suited to autumn and spring. It leans heavily into neroli-like citrus and creaminess, making it an excellent choice for daytime wear, especially in cool weather.
