In a nutshell
Description & review snapshotMi Confesión by Mark Buxton channels the dark wood and worn seating of a classic jazz lounge. The opening brings a thick wave of dark rum, fruity davana, and saffron, tempered slightly by a faint hint of cherry blossom. Soon, the core of dry tobacco leaf emerges alongside rich maple syrup, nutmeg, and Bulgarian rose. …
Reviews →Nabati opens with a sharp burst of sea salt, cardamom, and dark rum over a heavy base of leather and oud. Christian Provenzano contrasts marine watery notes with dry cedar and smoky amber. It wears best during cold autumn nights, cutting through freezing air with aggressive projection and an earthy patchouli trail.
