In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Tesori d'Oriente Persian Dream opens with a sweet blast of red apple and citrus before settling into a warm red tea base. It is a light unisex scent designed for warm weather and casual daytime wear.

Reviews →

Amber by Mahogany is an aromatic fougere that relies on clean lavender and cool mint to balance a warm, wood-heavy base. It works exceptionally well as a casual daytime scent for spring, offering a crisp profile that transitions into a subtle, dry teak and guaiac wood hum on the skin.
