In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Hex by Alkemia Perfumes is a fragrance for women and men. The nose behind this fragrance is Sharra Lamoureaux.

Reviews →

Lonestar by Juvena is an oriental fougere that balances herbal top notes with a warm, resinous undercurrent. Cypress and basil introduce a dry greenness, while castoreum and leather ground the blend in a masculine, retro style. It suits collectors seeking a clean yet animalic contrast.
