In a nutshell
Description & review snapshotKalem 12 Rounds opens with a bright burst of blood orange and sweet melon before settling into a warm, dark blend of cacao and brown sugar. Rum and tobacco notes give the dry-down a boozy, smoky depth that clings to the skin. It works best during chilly fall nights when you want a rich, sweet trail.
Reviews →Perverso by Baruti opens with a loud burst of roasted hazelnut and dark caramel, quickly settling into a heavy layer of bitter cocoa and boozy rum. It is a dense, warming blend made for cold winter evenings when you want a rich, dark scent that clings tightly to wool coats and stays noticeable for hours.
