In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Foliage reads as a soft floral woody scent with fig-tinted citrus at the top, then peony, rose and jasmine over a musky incense base. It feels airy and polished rather than bold, with a gentle rose-violet freshness and a smooth, slightly sweet woodiness. It may suit daytime wear, office settings and mild weather best.…

Jusbox Use Abuse is a floriental fragrance that links loud white florals with smoky resins. Built around a core of tuberose and incense, this scent aims to capture the energy of late night rock venues. It opens with bright mandarin orange before settling into a warm base of opoponax and musk.
