Like the conqueror from whom it takes its name - Iskander is the Persian translation of Alexander - this hesperidic chypre rides from the West to the East on the trail of precious aromatic materials..

If citrus fruits evoke the Mediterranean today, it is Asia that gave them birth: sparkling and acidulous citron brought back from Hellenic expeditions, green and fruity mandarin from China or bitter grapefruit from South-East Asia..

These fruits of the sun are refreshed by the aromatic notes of tarragon, slightly aniseed. Coriander mixes its peppery accents with a touch of zest. The green finesse of neroli, distilled from the flower of the bigarade orange tree, softens these tonic accords.

A base of oak moss and amber, coated with musk to prolong its trail, gives the fragrance its chypre character. The young conqueror's itinerary from the West to the East is retraced: the forests of Macedonia for the moss, the shores of happy Arabia where the ambergris washes up, the Tonkin musk of this China where ISKANDER would have reached one day, he who had already conquered India..

Perfumes stolen from the gods by men in search of immortality: this is ISKANDER's dream.
