In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Rose Cocoa opens with bright mandarin and soft spice, then settles into a velvety rose wrapped in cocoa, iris, and warm amber. On skin, it usually reads more rose-forward than gourmand, with the chocolate note adding texture rather than sweetness. It suits cooler weather, dressier settings, and anyone who likes polish…

Reviews →

Oud Altius opens with sharp cinnamon, crushed cardamom, and tart raspberry before settling into a dense heart of red rose, saffron, and olibanum. The base settles on dark leather, agarwood, and sandalwood that cling to skin for hours. It suits cold winter evenings, leather jackets, and crisp night air.
