In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Hemera by Irie builds its identity around a sharp clash of cool herbs and warm resins. Fresh eucalyptus and mint punch through early, giving way to a dry base of tobacco, leather, and olibanum. It wears best during crisp autumn mornings when the chilly air cuts through the medicinal green top notes.
