Ishraq Orientica, introduced to the world in 2018, sits firmly in the category of a feminine fragrance.
The birthplace of this fragrance — the United Arab Emirates, a place with a refined nose. Ishraq Orientica unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
Sometimes the best decision of the day is a press of the atomiser. The official website of Orientica — https://www.nickricardocollection.com.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The scent of Ishraq is shaped as a cohesive olfactory arc, where layers reveal themselves with precision and warmth. The style of Orientica is recognizable in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Nothing here feels random, and the composition keeps a clear direction.
At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Citrus, Floral, Whiteflower and Wood. The framework further includes Gourmet and Musk.
As soon as the fragrance opens you detect sparkling citrus first notes: Kumquat and Lime.
At the core of development you sense Iris, Jasmine, Lily of the Valley and Violet holding a opulent floral direction. In the final layer the line is anchored through Cedar, Sandalwood, Vanilla and musk, shaping a warm vetiver trail.
The internal accord map is driven by these accords: Citrus, Floral, Musc and Wood with each one in a clear role. Background accords such as Powdery and Spicy enrich the profile without taking over. The gender direction is feminine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
Taken together Ishraq sounds complete from start to finish — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best understood on skin.
