Roses on Ice
A floral aquatic gourmand woody fragrance built around rose, ice, musk, amber, woody. 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.
Straight to Heaven
Opens with a sharp, boozy rum that reads almost medicinal before the sugar cane softens it into something closer to a warm cocktail. The heart is where it earns its reputation — cedar and cinnamon tighten the sweetness while nutmeg adds genuine spice rather than decoration. Dry-down is deep vanilla and patchouli anchored by a clean musk, settling into a slow-burning, skin-close warmth with moderate sillage. Projection is bold in the first hour, intimate by the third — Fall and winter evenings, for someone who wants to smell expensive and slightly dangerous.
