In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Blue Leaf by Synapse is a salty, mineral aquatic that swaps typical citrus for the tangy sweetness of quince and white rose. It opens with a sharp sea breeze and cyclamen before settling into a base of ebony and sandalwood. This is a coastal scent for warm spring days when you want something more natural than a design…

Reviews →

First Love by Brogi delivers a crisp woody profile with a clean aromatic twist. The composition centers on a bright spark of bergamot that quickly gives way to dry cypress and powdery iris. It wears light and airy, making it a reliable casual choice for warm spring days and humid summer afternoons.
