In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Janpath by TRNP opens with a bright burst of bitter mandarin orange before settling into warm cinnamon and woody cardamom. Teone Reinthal crafted this natural perfume in 2016 to revive sluggish energy during crisp autumn days. Rich Peru balsam and earthy patchouli form a grounded base that stays close to skin.

Reviews →

Magus by Memoize London blends bright mandarin and sharp cardamom with a warm heart of cinnamon and tonka bean. The fragrance settles on skin with violet, patchouli, and benzoin, creating a soft amber warmth for cold autumn evenings. It leans sweet and comforting without turning overly sugary.
