In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

FUMparFUM Golden Sawdust captures the exact atmosphere of walking into a mountain lumber mill after a fresh cut. A sharp prickle of pimento pepper opens the scent, quickly giving way to aromatic dry cedar chips and warm herbal immortelle. As the fragrance settles onto skin, rich labdanum and sweet benzoin resin emerge…

Reviews →

Oriental Glance by Shades Of Scents blends bold black pepper with sweet tolu balsam. This spicy fragrance wraps incense and cedar needles around a dry agarwood base. It feels best on cool autumn evenings when you want a warm, resinous trail that cuts through the crisp night air.
