In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Raunaq starts with a punchy blast of saffron and sweet plum. It settles quickly into an aromatic woody base on skin. We recommend wearing this floral musk fragrance on a breezy spring afternoon. It works best when paired with casual linen shirts. The sweet trail lingers without feeling heavy.
