Description & review snapshot

Blazing Sun hits the air with a fiery crackle of pink pepper, sharp bergamot, and ripe mandarin orange. The spice is loud.

Reviews →

Pablo Emanuel Locascio Poletto based Nao on the damp cellars of Spanish wooden cargo ships. This perfume combines sour apple cider notes with sticky pine resins and black pepper. It works best during chilly autumn evenings when you want a rich, woody scent profile to cling to a heavy wool coat.
