In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Akatsuki Melba opens with bright peach nectar and floral osmanthus before sinking into a sugary raspberry jelly heart. As the fruit notes settle, Tahitian vanilla and salted caramel bring a warm, chewy sweetness to the dry down. It suits cool spring mornings and cozy sweater evenings for gourmand lovers.

Reviews →

Eau de Juvena opens with a bright spark of mandarin orange and sour cassis before settling into a soft, creamy peach and heliotrope heart. The base brings a quiet warmth of caramel and tonka bean that stays close to the skin. It serves as a gentle, comforting scent for quiet mornings or early spring days.
