In a nutshell
Description & review snapshotAyom is a crisp, green aromatic fougere built around bergamot, resinous elemi, juniper, and cardamom, then grounded with oakmoss and dry cedar.

This masculine scent is built for cool evening wear when you want a dry, wood-dominant presence that carries well in the autumn air.
