Isotope-J is a variation with added Juniper berry essential oil from India. 

Al-Arabi-  This scent was inspired by eastern spice shops; it is an exquisitely warm spicy fragrance, dense and sweet from aromatic resins, temperamental, sunny, yet mysterious like East itself. Precious notes of cedar and sandal blend in with sweet notes of mandarin, dried fig and date, pear, raisin, and apricot. Nutmeg, cumin, cardamon, anise, coriander and antique clove at the heart pervade the composition with hot spicy notes. Aromatic bay-leaf, harsh and pleasant, joins the spices, dwelling in dense resin waves of Tonka, Siamese benzoin, Brazilian copiaba balsam and myrrh. The final accord of labdanum joins aromatic opulence into a harmonic wholeness.

On top is spicy cardamon, black pepper and green pepper.
