In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

House of Iyrah Nocturne is a dark, resinous woody blend centered on amber and gentle oud. The opening delivers a brief splash of Sicilian bergamot alongside sparkling pink pepper and herbal davana. It feels immediately warm. You will notice a slight alcoholic sharpness during the first two minutes, but that burns off …

Reviews →

Feral Emerge opens with a sharp burst of mandarin and bitter galbanum before sinking into dark leather and smoky cypriol. Built for crisp autumn nights, it pairs zesty citrus top notes with an earthy vetiver and oud base. It fits leather jacket weather when you want a fragrance that feels raw, green, and woody on skin.
