In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Beaver Edition 2016 opens with cool air, wet greenery, linden blossom and a clean aquatic lift, then settles into soft musk, damp woods and a restrained leather castoreum base. It feels more like a quiet riverside than an animalic statement. This is one to sample if you like fresh woods with an unusual outdoorsy edge.…

Reviews →

Opulent Odyssey opens with a crisp breeze of cypress and hot saffron, quickly shifting into a dark heart of leather and rose. Sandalwood and cypriol anchor the base, giving it a smoky dryness that feels sophisticated yet easy to wear in cool autumn weather.
