In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Hayati opens as a dark rose with fruity lift, more blackcurrant and raspberry than syrupy jam. Wearer feedback points to a balanced fruit and flower profile, then a woody, musky dry-down that keeps the scent from feeling overly sweet. It suits someone who enjoys a richer Middle Eastern rose style without harsh oud fun…

Reviews →

Not Usual by Brogi pairs a sharp saffron bite with sweet raspberry in its opening. This unisex oriental blend gradually settles into a dark, smoky base of leather, amber, and a touch of agarwood. It is a dense, warming scent built specifically for cold autumn days and crisp winter nights.
