In a nutshell
Description & review snapshotPrescriptives Calyx is a juicy, tart explosion of green fruit and wet moss. Sophia Grojsman created this in 1987, and it still feels remarkably modern. You get an instant spray of tart grapefruit, juicy guava, and green mango that smells like slicing fresh tropical fruit on a damp cutting board. It skips sticky sugar.…
Reviews →Creation The Vert by Ted Lapidus delivers a sharp, grassy alternative to the usual sweet summer scents. Grounded by green tea and green apple, this crisp blend targets warm days when you need a cooling splash. It offers a bitter, refreshing character that suits casual daytime wear.
