In a nutshell
Description & review snapshotFlagrant by Água de Cheiro brings a soft, floral-woody personality to your daily routine. Pink pepper adds a brief, spicy opening, while a heart of iris and rose creates a powdery, elegant feel. Vanilla and musk anchor the composition in a gentle, warm finish that suits most casual daytime outings throughout the year.
Reviews →Tesori d'Oriente Japanese Rituals pairs a prominent, dew-drenched pink rose with bright grapefruit. The floral notes settle over a clean patchouli base. This affordable fragrance works well for casual daytime wear during the warm spring months, providing a fresh, soap-like freshness on skin.
