In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Pacifica Beach Day opens with bright bergamot and spicy cardamom that quickly soften into a heart of orange blossom, violet, and creamy sandalwood. Drying down into soft suede and musk, it offers a moody coastal skin scent rather than a sweet tropical lotion. It suits chilly morning walks and casual cool afternoons.

Reviews →

Ultimo Noir opens with bright tangerine, bergamot, and sharp cypress before shifting into a warm heart of clove and cardamom. The dry-down relies on dark teak wood, suede, and musk. It brings a solid option for cold autumn evenings or casual night outs when you want something woody with a citrus kick.
