Quick answer: Royal Ispahan is the fruitier, creamier one: raspberry, lychee and cotton flower over violet and rose milk, with a vanilla, guaiac wood and amber base. Enchanted is fresher and more classically floral: mandarin, then peony, rose, violet and peach, finishing on iris and musk. Both are strong extraits for her, for autumn and winter.
Mykonos Royal Ispahan and Mykonos Enchanted are two floral extraits from the For Her collection, and the brand frames both as fairytale scents. They start from the same flowers but end up in different places: one soft and creamy, the other fresh and musky.
