Beautiful herbal-lemon, aromatic rather than juicy and acidic, with the green shades just adding realism and subtlety and an even more natural feel. Oak moss certainy there, but not overpowering on my skin. On me it completely skated wide and clear of any of the usual lemon pitfalls (no moments of soapiness or cleaning products at all). No sugar or blossom whatsoever, and the white flowers are far enough off not to cloy at all, either. So absolutely truly unisex for those who love real green, garden-fresh, zingy citrus but hate harsh or cloying fake-lemon. Sadly my skin doesn’t let this one live for more than 2-3 hours so it’s a no for me personally – though I’d happily buy it if the longevity were better. In my view Azemour Les Orangers just edges this one out for value and all-over pleasantness, but for those who prefer lemon to orange this will be the one (they’re pretty close siblings, but not twins, in the classy treatment and the overall balance of sharpness and spice and nuance.)

“Iskander”
اسکندر نماد یونان ـه، عطار ماهر این عطر آب وهوای یونان رو به تصویر کشیده.
عطری شاداب که با بوی کاملا طبیعی پوست لیمو و علفهای معطر شروع میشه، دقیقا حال وهوای باغ درختان لیمو بعد از یه بارش لطیف بارون توی تابستون.
واقعا تاثیر برانگیزه چون عطر لیمو در این مرحله خیلی جذاب و آرامش بخشه، چنین رایحه لیمویی در هیچ ادکلنی ندیده بودم،
پس از مدتی با اینکه بوی پوست لیمو درحال نمایش خودشه رایحه ای ادویه ای چوبی ،نشاط عطر رو دوچندان میکنه،
اینجاست که حس آرامش عجیبی پدیدار میشه مثل اون موقعی که در ساحل دریایی با آب تمییز زیر درخت لیمو قرار گرفته باشید و نسیم هم وزش داشته باشه.
پخش خوبی داره تا دوساعت به فاصله 1متر بوش حس میشه و دوامی 8 ساعته.
اگه دوست دارید تابستون لذت بخشی داشته باشید این عطر رو تست کنید.

Unfortunately I can only smell lemon, and it smells like cleaning products to me.

If you are expecting a zingy citrus dominated fragrance then you will be disappointed. This on me is more to do with herbs, oakmoss and musk. Yes it opens with the lemon, citron and grapefruit but as typical top notes notes they wain quickly, remaining low key for the rest of the fragrances timeline. Yes, it can transport you to mediterranean shores quite quickly. It has quite a classic feeling but it is very pleasant fragrance that would be lovely to wear with a crisp white shirt. Its definitely a unisex fragrance and you really need to love oakmoss. Moderate sillage and long longevity.

A very good chypre. Buy it before it is too late.

Another wonderfully composed Parfum d’Empire creation. This is a gorgeous juicy lemony blend, with a bit of orange and neroli to add some sweetness and just enough wood and spice to keep the lemon alive but grounded . . . I usually avoid “aromatics” because they tend to smell very masculine on me but this stays right in the middle . . . definitely unisex. It is a real treat to test!
крек – :
It is a citrusy scent that has a classic edge to it. Smells fresh and nice, but far from being anything special.
DenEleven – :
This smells like something in between of Eau d’Hadrien Annick Goutal and typical citrus men’s cologne.
Iskander doesn’t wow me the same like some other D’Emppire fragrances. As far as citrus fragrance goes, it’s not bad, but nothing memorable either.
Skvisgaar – :
Better then Azemour…
I find Iskander much better than Parfum d’Empire’s Azemour. I don’t understand why the Fragrantica score shows more love for Azemour, Iskander is in the same category of citrus fragrances as Azemour is. However Iskander has a little more personality and depth.
Iskander opens up also with a blast of citrus, but accompanied with a little more spiciness and kick than its brother Azemour. There is a very soft woody feel in the background, perhaps from the cedar and coriander combo. It is fresh, light, natural, and bright, very suitable for hot Mediterranean type of weather. So if you are looking for a regular fragrance for business and romantic encounters, you are in the wrong category of fragrance. You aren’t going to either impress or insult anybody if your are caught in an elevator wearing this one–generally true for citrus fragrances. Iskander is something you want to wear in hfigh temperature, outside, and during the daytime to smell fresh under the sun.
I little amber and mustiness in the background gives this citrus a little lift but nothing that projects. The oak moss does stand out more and gives the contrast to Iskander.
I don’t generally like citrus fragrances but I would wear Iskander occasionally, and that is a lot to say for a citrus fragrance in my case. It is fresh with a little spicy/woodiness to make it less boring, and citrus fragrances can be.
I give it a 7/10.

This is possibly the most disappointing Niche I’ve smelled. Way top loaded with citruses and not much else. It’s a lemon bomb with subtle dry undertones.
The citruses carry down into the drydown, and it becomes a bit dulled, and dry smelling. Oakmoss is the reason for this. It turns into a lemon/oakmoss smell.
There is something in the Drydown which redeems this. It goes almost creamy and reminds me of the Hermes “jardin” line of fragrances. It’s nice to have a citrus with a bit of punch and longevity as that must be really difficult to do.
It would be nice in hotter weather but still not interesting enough for me to want to buy it.
emuxumverssut – :
Delicious lemony scent, perfect for hot summer evenings. Coriander breaks a drydown too citrus. Nothing exceptional.
waffen71 – :
very lemony & citrusy, light and a bit woody or dark. not my type of perfumes.
when it dries down it reminds me of Lorenzo “Aura Maris”
Eloriemeree – :
Very nice and very well done woody citrus. When I first applied it, I felt it was yet another mixed citrus/citron dominated fragrance and I was ready to write it off but I really love the dry down. Nice blend of cilantro and oakmoss with a touch of amber. The amber doesn’t overpower and the citrus notes still come through well, even after a couple of hours. This is more of a masculine fragrance than feminine and would probably be more well received if smelled on a man. I am totally missing any white florals. Nothing about this is floral to my nose. Opening was a slightly boring disappointment but the middle to dry down is actually quite nice. Lasts fairly well also, especially for a citrus mix. I ended up liking this more than I thought I would. It is nowhere close to my favorite from this house, Osmanthus Interdite, but I enjoyed trying it. Smells nice and is a great value for niche if you like this style of fragrance.

This has the same feel as Eau Sauvage, which I love. Iskander is its demure, elegant little sister in pastels, while Yuzu Fou of Parfum d’Empire is the crazy, flamboyant cousin.
As stated by previous posters, this is not an original fragrance. It has a classic feel to it and is light and discreet. On my skin, it’s all about the oakmoss, laced with a bit of citrus (and citron, too).
Even though it’s supposed to be a light and summery scent (and it is, really), I find it surprisingly comforting too, like a great big hug from my man.
It’s marketed as unisex but it seems to me more masculine – perhaps it’s because it’s minimal, streamlined? It’s the fragrance I would buy for my husband, but I would happily wear on hot days like this.
Longevity is good, sillage low on me – which makes it a good office scent. I would not buy a full bottle now, I would rather splash out on Osmanthus Interdite, but I will enjoy my sample and get one to my husband when his Eau Sauvage is used up.
ecologuproekty – :
For me it is so far the best fragrance of the Parfum d’Empire-house. Love it!

Ok I’ve tried this now, it’s not too impressive. The citruses on top are standard fare but can be found in dozens of scents, niche or designer.
A candy citrus fan, the lemon and grapefruit on top are done Ok, but certainly not refined and tainted with the ubiquitous ‘dirty musk’ in many niche citruses- or fragrances in general for this matter. And one asks for more but never gets. Not a fan of the musk in here certainly, and this can get quite overbearing so one has to be quite careful! And there could have been so much more added, but cannot detect anything else going on! Just simple, straight up citrus (acidic lemon/grapefruit)/dirty musk/ and green (sub-par mosses/bitter orange/faint neroli) were the only accords I really got.
Nothing to really differentiate it from the 1000’s of scents in this genre (Chypre I think!) After coming from Invasion Barbare, I was hoping for another surprise at a lower price-point, but sadly this hasn’t delivered and is utterly disappointing.
It’s certainly not sweet, and having assessed enough of these ‘citrus top’ niches now, I’m feeling more inclined to give Invasion Barbare a full 5/5 more than ever!
Straight citruses are Ok, but for me they have to be perfect with the sweetness and depth in spices or ambers. This offers neither, falling way short.
2/5.

very wearable and very good
the best citrus i could find
i am going to buy one
Swobbesen – :
I think this is the best one of Parfum d’Empire fragrances. It’s a lovely chypre with citrussy and spicy notes. And it lasts for hours on my skin.
POIKAN – :
I would describe this as mossy cedar. It does open with a lot of lemon, but settles to a woody green scent. Seems to me like a pleasant yet pretty basic chypre designed for men – so much so that I suspect I would be able to find something similar and cheaper at the local chemist’s. Still, a pleasant and even evocative summer scent.
шумахер93 – :
Light airy lemon fragrance. The initial phase reminds a of Bourbon French Perfume’s “Eau de Cologne” but smoother and a bit sweeter and lacking EDC’s dry and loud punch of pure lemon. Supposedly BFP’s “Eau de Cologne” was Napoleon’s favorite scent. It seems Napoleon and I don’t share the same taste. The sillage is very low. As it settles it’s gets flatter and warmer and then it practically disappears altogether.
5 out of 10.

I am of an age where I can clearly remember the delight of Goya Aqua Manda on my mother’s dressing table, and missing it as much as I do, I thought I had got it nailed when this fruity coriander number turned up. Sadly, not to be, as it contains some real sledgehammer ingredients which spark off a hellish migraine within minutes of application. *sigh* what I wouldnt give for Aqua Manda’s return, in it’s delicious seventies packaging too.
vfil – :
Not a great one. Boring scent, sorry…
6,5/10
Sokyarrorkege – :
Dificult to know what to say, as the scent notes just don’t work for me, that basically means anything that smells a bit dirty, off or fecal. Now that gets rid of a great many high end scents such as No. 88 by Czech and Speake, and this really a function of the nose smelling it. We’re all different. Iskander has a dirty note in the grapefruit to my nose and this note really irritates me.
Every nose is different so don’t take this review too seriously.
ExonnaBoody – :
I read somewhere that this scent was trying to capture the essence of Greece. Indeed, when I put it on I did get flash backs from the movie ‘Mama Mia’, with it’s I-dare-You-Not-To-Fall-In-Love-With-Me greek scenery. I learned from other reviews that this can be a weak scent, so I used a heavy hand when applying hte tester. i then went out for drive about the bay area.
I was very happy to spend the day with this fragrance. Whenever a breeze would kick up I’d get a sniff of the sensous, luscious notes in this perfume. I know this has an amber/musk base, which can be heavy, but I definitely feel this works on a warmer day wiht a gentle breeze. the citrus doesn’t stand out much, to me, but the middle notes are wonderful. Highly recommend sampling this fragrance. Going on 7 hours now and I can still smell it.
