by Parfums Dusita
Issara by Parfums Dusita is a quietly intoxicating fougère with a crisp, aromatic opening of pine needles and sage, warmly layered with sweet tobacco, coumarin, and vetiver. The fragrance unfolds with a refined, transparent sweetness—like sun-warmed hay and fresh pipe tobacco—tempered by a subtle, clean musk and balsamic amber. It feels natural and intimate, as if walking through a high-country forest in late summer, where the air is alive with green scent and soft light. The drydown is quietly elegant, fading into a delicate, mossy warmth that clings to skin and fabric for hours. While not overpowering or bold in projection, it lingers with a quiet persistence that makes it deeply personal and revealing. Many find it unisex with a masculine-leaning elegance, though some note its softness and lack of dramatic refinement. The concentration is extrait, yet it wears as a skin-scented whisper rather than a statement. It is notably unifed by quality ingredients and artistic intention, evoking meditative clarity rather than grandeur. Its longevity is moderate, lasting several hours, but many find it an intimate, deeply comforting scent over time.
