Privé Rose d'Arabie
A floral oriental gourmand fragrance built around rose, oud, amber, musk, incense. 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.
Acqua di Gioia EDP
Opens with a bright, slightly tart lemon that dissolves quickly into a clean aquatic-floral heart where jasmine and peony read more like fresh air than actual flowers — airy and translucent rather than heady or indolic. Cedar grounds the mid-stage with a faint woodiness that keeps it from feeling too thin. The dry-down settles into warm labdanum and soft musk with modest sillage — close to skin, never loud. Projection is light from the start and fades to a barely-there skin scent within a few hours — a warm-weather office or daytime casual fragrance for anyone who wants to smell clean without announcing it.
