In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

FUMparFUM White Horse opens with an energetic prickle of pink pepper and tart white grapefruit before revealing its true, theatrical nature. Within minutes, the bright citrus burns away, exposing a haunting floral heart of dried rose petals and chalky orris root. It does not smell like a conventional department store …

Reviews →

Red Leather opens with dry rhubarb, tart pink grapefruit, and sharp pink pepper before sinking into a dry suede base. It is a savory, dusty leather that sidesteps any jammy sweetness in favor of a bittersweet, green bite. Ideal for cool autumn evenings when you want something rugged and dry rather than cozy.
