In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Oh, My Stars! by House of Matriarch is an unapologetic collision of sparkling vintage aldehydes and dark, bohemian earthiness. The opening hits fast. Bitter artemisia, peppery shiso, and a sharp dash of green cannabis collide with powdery iris and sweet mimosa. You immediately feel the natural oil weight on your skin.…

Reviews →

Oud Cafu by Nabeel is a bold, sweet woody scent that centers on a bright clash of pineapple and citrus with a deep, resinous agarwood base. It fits colder days when you want a rich warmth that cuts through the chill.
