In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Unicorn is a sweet, spicy oud extrait that opens bright and fruity, then quickly turns resinous and warm. Expect raspberry and bergamot up top, saffron spice through the heart, and a cosy dry-down of amber, incense, vanilla and tonka over a smoky, woody oud. It can read bold and serious, with an opening that some wear…

Reviews →

Âme Nomad by Thera Cosméticos opens with sharp black pepper and warm cardamom before settling into a dense heart of rugged leather, smoky tobacco, and dark suede. Dry sandalwood, rich oud, and sweet vanilla balance the spice in cold weather. It suits evening wear, formal leather jackets, and chilly autumn nights.
