In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Anthracite by Jacomo is a complex oriental floral fragrance launched in 1990. It balances green notes like hyacinth and basil against a dense base of vanilla, benzoin, and amber. This scent feels mysterious and dark, suited for cooler weather when you want a fragrance that feels like an enchanted forest.

Reviews →

Deen by Orientica starts with a bright splash of citrus before settling into a powdery floral mist. Violet and rose form the soft heart, supported by a warm base of vanilla and clean musk. It serves as a gentle daytime fragrance, ideal for casual spring office wear or quiet afternoons at home.
