In a nutshell
Description & review snapshotHimera by Taber is a bold Woody Spicy fragrance that centers on a heavy dose of saffron and ambergris. Launched in 2024, it opens with a sharp jasmine and spicy saffron punch before settling into a dry, salty cedarwood base. It is a powerful choice for cold weather and formal evening wear for men and women alike.
Reviews →Pacoroca Red opens with a sharp burst of dried plum, bergamot, and tart cassis that immediately catches the nose. As it warms on skin, dry saffron and jasmine emerge over a woody base of cedarwood and ambergris. It wears best during cool autumn evenings when its crisp, resinous character cuts through cold outdoor air.
