In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

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.

Reviews →

Noa Noa by Otto Kern opens with sharp mint and bitter galbanum before shifting into rich cedar, sandalwood, and resinous balsam fir. As it settles, warm benzoin, oakmoss, and powdery amber soften the aromatic bite. It shines on crisp autumn afternoons and cool evening walks when you want a grounded, woody chypre.
