In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

White Iris by OrdioLab shifts traditional powdery iris into a rugged, resinous space. Released in 2024, this unisex blend cuts the sweetness of purple florals with bitter tarragon and a leathery, castoreum-infused core. It is built for collectors who want a cold, mineral floral that performs in freezing autumn wind.

Reviews →

Temujin by Kanebo is a hard-to-find vintage Japanese Chypre from 1978. It starts with sharp artemisia and bitter lemon before drying down to a heavy base of leather, castoreum, and oakmoss. This is a dry, mossy scent for fans of old-school masculine perfumery who appreciate complex structure.
