Insherah Gold

To me this is a honeyed, jammy, very much oriental clean and musky sandalwood. I don't agree that it's like J'adore, to me it's more of a rich oriental gourmand, with lots of sweet musk. I love it! I might just have to buy it. Heavy on the sandalwood, not much clove or iris to me. Musk is definitely one that depends on your skin chemistry, I've had several musks that I just could not pick up on, despite glowing reviews. Well this one is the exact opposite, the musk here works super well with my skin. Sweet, clean, fresh, a touch citrussy, with lots of sandalwood. I am getting a pear like feel, and the musk and overall feel is very much like in kintsukori alkemia. I'm putting this onto my want list. Not listed but there is a soft, oriental rose in here. I knew it! The day after for this is insane delicious. It's that musk.

This is typically feminine and French style perfumery. It reminds me of J’adore which doesn’t excite me at all - the reason I love exploring Arabian scents is to actively escape the unimaginative Western market. I don’t want to smell like the average woman. Even though my passion is perfumes, I actually can’t stand basic women’s perfume. Longevity is only about an hour or two. Pretty but disappointing. The bottle looks like a prickly butt-plug.
