In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Koa by Jealous opens with a sharp burst of tart black currant paired against sweet orange blossom. As the initial brightness settles, dirty jasmine and earthy patchouli take center stage on skin. The base locks down with warm amber, rich vanilla, and a dark slice of leather. It wears best during chilly autumn evenings…

Reviews →

It opens with a burst of crisp pear and black currant before settling into a soft, powdery heart of amber and hazelnut. It is a sweet, feminine choice for spring daytime wear.
