"The fragrance itself is something unique, especially in the case of Isfarkand, the label's latest scent for men. Linda Pilkington, a self-taught nose who journeys far and wide in the Middle East. The scent has a peppery heart, with a mandarin, lime, and bergamot top note and a cedar, vetiver and moss base. And despite its earthiness, it draws women wearers too."
