Amazing Orange Saffron Sandalwood Scent
This scent is a staple for me in the summer heat. It opens with a burst of neroli and zesty citrus. Saffron dances in the back till it cuts through overtaking the fragrance. Not leathery but delicately sweet and spicy. Tamed by the sandalwood, the saffron smells as if it's floating in a sea of milk. The oud serves as a nice backbone offering woody and incense nuances that help meld the composition together. There is one key player I haven't mentioned yet, the Boronia. Boronia is a flower that I have not smelled on its own, yet I believe it's lending its fruity and bready touches to composition. To me, this composition is a crowd pleaser while maintaining its unique flair.
A Purple Fragrance Gem
Roxo is a beautiful rendition of all things purple. The top opens with a juicy mixed berry jam tempered by florals, making it light and refreshing. The mid continues the purple story with an extremely realistic Ruby Porto flirting with jasmine, an ethereal and hedonistic combination, thickened by an earthy orris. Finally, the scent settles on a base of purple ouds with creamy sandalwood and vintage musks melding with a tobacco-vanilla, creating an ambery, slightly animalic, oudy base.
All I can say is that this fragrance is immaculately constructed and grail for berry and purple fragrance lovers.

Rose, Jasmine, Sandalwood, with a touch of Oud
A summer oud. Exactly what the title says. An amazing year round scent that never fails to garner me complements as well as put me in a pleasant mood. Rose and Jasmine dance at the forefront, familiar florals paving the path for a creamy sandalwood and clean oud to make their presence known but provide a smooth and almost incense feel to the compostion. I am a big fan of this fragrance if you cannot tell haha.
Gulab Jamun in a bottle
Think of a gulab jamun, put into a bottle and add a finishing touch of Indian Oud. Beautiful gourmand-esque composition balanced by the sandalwood and Indian Oud, giving it more versatility and preventing it from becoming overbearing. A beautiful cardamom rose over a bed of creamy sandalwood and dash of animalic oud. Would recommend for gourmand and oud lovers.
Top Tier Jasmine Scent
Kaavu is based off the sacred groves of Kerala India, blooming with precious flowers, fragrant with the amazing aromas of Jasmine and Magnolia. The scent beings just like this opening up with a beautiful, sweet jasmine. The fragrance then settles into a more darker magnolia but with hints of sandalwood dancing around, making the middle a creamier experience. Finally, the base filled with animalics and oud captures the ancient heritage by encapsulating the earthiness and wildness while still supporting the florals throughout. To me, this is one of the best jasmine scents I have come across, especially for the value.
