In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Anima by Gritti is a potent fruity and woody perfume built around bright fruit, soft florals, and a heavy base of musk and woods. It opens with an explosion of juicy pineapple, crisp apple, sweet strawberry, and tart plum, sharpened by splashes of lime and bergamot. That sweet fruitiness settles into a heart of powder…

Reviews →

Oud Cafu by Nabeel is a bold, sweet woody scent that centers on a bright clash of pineapple and citrus with a deep, resinous agarwood base. It fits colder days when you want a rich warmth that cuts through the chill.
