In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Tonic Vert is a crisp citrus aromatic built around lime, bergamot, mint, geranium and a clean vetiver base. It opens bright, green and slightly bitter, then settles into a fresh woody finish with oakmoss and musk.

Reviews →

Amber by Mahogany is an aromatic fougere that relies on clean lavender and cool mint to balance a warm, wood-heavy base. It works exceptionally well as a casual daytime scent for spring, offering a crisp profile that transitions into a subtle, dry teak and guaiac wood hum on the skin.
