In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Going Pro by Jacques Battini offers a bright, fruity opening anchored by crisp apple and black currant. This woody floral musk scent transitions into a soft heart of jasmine and violet before settling into a smooth sandalwood base. It provides a versatile option for men seeking an everyday fragrance that performs well…

Reviews →

Banan by Jouri starts with a bright splash of pear and tart black currant. A dry woody base of cedarwood and sandalwood grounds the sweet opening. This scent suits casual days and works best for those who enjoy fruity profiles with a solid wood undercurrent.
