In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Le Ré Noir #409 Prêt à pruner cuts straight to the point with a tart burst of green fig leaf and dark plum. The opening smells crisp and herbaceous. Within ten minutes, the bitter sap softens into ripe, sweet purple fruit and milky wood pulp. It feels like snapping a fig branch while slicing fresh plums on a cedar cut…

Reviews →

Kastellorizo opens with a sharp herbal kick of artemisia and resinous elemi, mimicking the dry, windswept scrub of a Mediterranean cliff. As the scent settles, a green fig leaf note takes over, balanced by a hint of unsweetened lavender. It is a dry, aromatic option built for warm spring days and casual outdoor wear.
