What do reviewers say about Ishtar and Macaque Yuzu Edition?
Rogue Perfumery isn't exactly known for sweetness. Ishtar is the exception that proves the rule, benzoin and lily where you'd expect smoke and leather. The resins keep it grounded.Ishtar
This fragrance has two acts. The first is all brightness, yuzu, mandarin, juniper, mountain air. The second is incense and hinoki doing temple work. It becomes a meditation.Macaque Yuzu Edition
