In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Garuda by Jul et Mad Paris offers a sharp, spicy opening that settles into a deep, woody experience. Anchored by oud and patchouli, it works best during autumn evenings. This unisex scent demands presence, making it a bold choice for those who enjoy resinous, boozy accords that linger on the skin throughout the night.
