In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Perverso by Baruti opens with a loud burst of roasted hazelnut and dark caramel, quickly settling into a heavy layer of bitter cocoa and boozy rum. It is a dense, warming blend made for cold winter evenings when you want a rich, dark scent that clings tightly to wool coats and stays noticeable for hours.
