An ancient city on Turkey's Aegean coast, Izmir has known its share of invaders- Greeks, Romans, Macedonians, Ottomans- but in those centuries of conflict, it emerged unbowed, a proud and historic center of culture and history. Izmir the fragrance is indeed a scent for both poets and warriors, a fierce and sensual masculine with bright, sweet pineapple, sensual spices, and a rich patchouli base. In the words of Unique'e, the patchouli, a wonderful specimen sourced from the Cava islands in Indonesia, represents "power, resistance, and the willingness to stand and fight." We're more into loving than fighting, but we can certainly vouch for Izmir's power- this is a robust and seductive scent meant for the bold and unconquerable.
