In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Limbo by Unifrom approaches woody aromatics from an unusual angle, utilizing a pure perfume oil base rather than a typical alcohol spray. It hits skin with an immediate, sour crunch of freshly sliced garden rhubarb. That crisp tartness is bracing. Within twenty minutes, the initial vegetable bite softens as golden hay…

Reviews →

Source Saint-Clair opens with a bright splash of Calabrian bergamot and sweet ylang-ylang. The scent quickly settles into a warm, spiced woody heart before melting into a rich base of Siam benzoin and vanilla absolute. It wears as a smooth, resinous option best suited for cozy autumn nights.
