In a nutshell
Description & review snapshotNot 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 →Oud Altius opens with sharp cinnamon, crushed cardamom, and tart raspberry before settling into a dense heart of red rose, saffron, and olibanum. The base settles on dark leather, agarwood, and sandalwood that cling to skin for hours. It suits cold winter evenings, leather jackets, and crisp night air.
