In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Undergreen Black is a dark, dry woody scent with serious backbone. It does not coddle you. A brisk flash of black pepper and ginger hits the air first before settling into roasted coffee beans and bittersweet licorice.

Reviews →

Amanoamano by Maison Gabriella Chieffo is a unisex release built on heavy spice and smoky undertones. It centers around a warm cardamom opening that leads into a dense beeswax and mint heart, before settling into a dry incense, oud, and leather base. It suits collectors looking for a sweet yet smoky autumn profile.
