In a nutshell
Description & review snapshotTOBBA Force opens with a cool, sharp blast of cypress that feels like stepping into a damp, foggy evergreen forest. On the skin, this herbal chill settles into the warmth of balsam fir and patchouli, creating a dark, earthy forest floor effect. Rather than feeling heavy or sweet, the scent retains a dry, clean quality…
Reviews →Trimerous is a modern exploration of cold, powdery Florentine orris root. Euan McCall balances the buttery root against bright nectarine and sharp juniper. This creates a fragrance that shifts from rooty coolness to a soft, juicy skin scent, making it an excellent choice for autumn days and casual office wear.
