In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Lavanda Inglesa by Alfaroma is a Aromatic fragrance for women and men. Top notes are Lavender, Rosemary and Citruses; middle notes are Geranium, Cinnamon and Rose; base notes are Musk, Patchouli and Sandalwood.

Reviews →

Pascal Morabito Pure Essence opens with a sharp burst of green apple and tart citruses, backed by a crisp geranium edge. As the top notes settle, warm cinnamon emerges to create a familiar cozy spice layer over dry cedar and smooth sandalwood. It feels clean and upright for chilly weekday mornings at the office.
