    Real talk

    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
