In a nutshell
Description & review snapshotSequoia Wood by The Perfumer's Story by Azzi is an intense woody perfume centered around deep red sequoia. A fresh opening of neroli and palmarosa lifts the composition, while a dry down of patchouli, cedar, and white musk provides a warm, skin-hugging base. It is a dry, slightly spicy unisex scent built for structure…
Reviews →Koena by Ovéh Madrid is a bright, summery floral fragrance centered around citrus and clean white florals. Opening with crisp mandarin orange and neroli, it transitions into a soft tuberose heart before settling on a dry base of cedar and patchouli. It suits warm afternoons and casual outfits.
