In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

102 by ScentBar is a floral aquatic fragrance that balances sea-inspired notes with soft florals. The opening captures a briny breeze through seaweed and ozonic accords. In the heart, lily-of-the-valley and cyclamen provide a clean, airy lift that sits comfortably on the skin. It serves as an easygoing, modern choice …

Reviews →

Dolceacqua by Masque Milano pairs crisp neroli and pink pepper with a soft heart of white rose and powdery violet. It settles into clean musk and dry Virginian cedarwood, creating a calm scent cloud built for spring mornings at the office. The clean floral profile stays close to skin throughout the day.
