In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Irrésistible by Alkemia Perfumes is a fragrance for women. The nose behind this fragrance is Sharra Lamoureaux.

Reviews →

Otoori Abaya opens with a sugary blast of sweet almond, icy sorbet, and pear before settling into a warm core of caramel, vanilla, and cinnamon. Its heavy gourmand character warms up cold winter nights, wrapping the wearer in a cozy blanket of Turkish delight and resinous amber.
