Tobacco Oud
A oriental woody gourmand fragrance built around tobacco, oud, leather, spice, amber. Scent profile not yet written in our editorial pass — the listed notes are the most reliable summary of the wear character until that's filled in.
Silver Mountain Water
Opens with a bright snap of bergamot and mandarin that dries down fast, pulling green tea and blackcurrant into the heart — the two together read as cool and slightly tart rather than sweet or fruity. Sandalwood grounds it without going woody, and a clean musk carries things through a quiet, close-to-skin dry-down. Projection is moderate at best; this isn't a room-filler, it's a personal-space fragrance with refined sillage that rewards proximity. — Spring and fall office or date wear for anyone who wants clean without smelling like soap.
