OT - 23 by Olfattology hits the skin with a sharp, medicinal burst of saffron and bitter orange before settling into an unexpected oceanic floral haze. This unisex composition plays a strange game of tug-of-war between cold sea notes and warm, smoky resins like myrrh and gurjan balsam.

It is a challenging option that sits comfortably on cool spring days or foggy autumn afternoons. If you want a clean office scent, look elsewhere, but if you appreciate dark, salty woods, this is worth a sample.

Olivier Durbano Heliotrope opens with a sharp burst of red chili pepper and green ginger, instantly establishing a dry, mineral heat. Unlike sweet, almond-heavy fragrances in the same family, this scent focuses on clean frankincense and a dry, woody backbone.
