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 →

Vertus Vanilla Oud reinterprets sweet woodiness by pairing saffron and apple with a base of vanilla and agarwood. It trades traditional animalic punch for a smooth, dessert-like warmth that feels right on cold autumn evenings. This unisex bottle works best when you want a rich, sweet cloud that hangs around all night.
