About Swiss Arabian Ishq EDP
Swiss Arabian is the house behind Ishq EDP. It comes as Eau de Parfum.
Day or night?
This is more of an evening scent: it shines at dinners, dates and nights out. Its leather side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Guerlain Vetiver Guerlain is a lighter match.
What Ishq costs

How long it lasts
This is a long lasting scent: expect about 6 to 9 hours on skin. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. It lasts longer than Thameen Riviere unisex. Base notes like leather and cypriol oil or nagarmotha are the part that stays longest on the skin.
