Oh wow… I am actually blushing. There’s something about Sintra that makes me want to kick my feet and giggle. It’s such an intimate and playful floral musk. The florals feel light and airy, while the base gives this slightly dirty skin vibe in the best way possible. I’m obsessed. It shot straight to the top of my wishlist.

It’s giving powdery peach ring candy. The florals are blended in such a way that they almost blur together into a warm, slightly muddled haze. It’s like mixing all the paints until you get that soft greyish brown. For some reason, I imagine this is exactly what Delaney Rowe smells like. Honestly, this feels like a grown-up version of Daisy by Marc Jacob’s.

Okay, I was not ready for this. I thought the white swan would be airy and delicate, but instead I got smacked with a stunning dose of rhubarb, Italian grapefruit soda, and creamy orris It’s jammy and tart. Every single note hits.

It’s kind of giving a lighter, more citrusy version of Rose Jam by Lush.

This perfume doesn’t smell “crazy,” yet in my mind it remains an anomaly. In a market oversaturated with both lackluster matcha lattes and uninspired matcha perfumes, this one offers something truly unique. It leans more toward a matcha tonic, letting the tea’s zesty facets shine alongside ginger and lemon. The real magic, though, is in the seaweed note. I hate aquatics, but this perfume avoids that entirely. Instead of veering fishy, the seaweed feels like opening a window near the ocean. A clean, salty breeze, a breath of fresh sea air. Not overly citrusy, not overwhelming. Just the perfect matcha tea to cool you down.

In my mind, this perfume both roars and hums. It's giant resting between misty mountains. Oolong tea, which in my experience usually tastes bitter, roasted, and earthy really comes through vividly here. Out of ROAN’s collection, this feels like the “darkest” offering. The tea note is central, but it’s the leather and oakmoss that give it weight, adding a heaviness that feels both mystical and mythical.
