In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Caron Rose is a crisp floral composition built around fresh garden petals rather than sugary syrup. It opens with an invigorating splash of bitter aloe vera and bright neroli before unveiling rich May rose and dark Bulgarian rose absolutes. The scent captures the cool, verdant atmosphere of a flower garden at sunrise.…

Reviews →

Mohamed Mandouh created Sea Storm in 2025 as a fresh, floral woody musk. It starts with sharp lime, lemon, and neroli, then shifts into a heart of geranium and cedar before finishing on warm vanilla and sandalwood. This clean scent fits daytime wear during warm spring and summer months.
