In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Ayu by Scents and Style is a fresh, aromatic fragrance for men that centers on a vibrant opening of watermelon and mint. It feels crisp and energetic, making it an ideal companion for hot summer afternoons or casual daytime outings where you want a clean, aquatic presence that does not overpower your surroundings.

Reviews →

Little Milk Cat opens with a bright lemon lift and a soft lavender edge, then settles into a green, grassy heart over dry cedar and patchouli. It reads light, fresh, and slightly aromatic rather than sweet, so it may suit someone who wants an easy daytime scent with a clean outdoorsy feel.
