Reviews →

Darkness by Bejar starts with a sharp splash of bitter orange and grapefruit before settling into a warm core of cedar and black amber. A heavy base of sweet vanilla and musk anchors the blend. This fragrance fits cold winter evenings when you want a rich, dark woody trail that clings to a heavy coat.
