In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Not Usual by Brogi pairs a sharp saffron bite with sweet raspberry in its opening. This unisex oriental blend gradually settles into a dark, smoky base of leather, amber, and a touch of agarwood. It is a dense, warming scent built specifically for cold autumn days and crisp winter nights.

Reviews →

Ghair opens with a tart flash of raspberry cut by sharp thyme and dry saffron. The center reveals resinous olibanum and quiet jasmine, before settling into a dark base of leather, agarwood, and amber. It feels heavy and warm, built for chilly autumn evenings or black-tie winter gatherings.
