Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca

A green eau of mint and tea, opening on lemon and bergamot and thinning into a light musk. Short wear and a quiet trail by design: warm-weather freshness, immediate and undemanding.

Eau de Basilic Pourpre

Purple basil, peppery and darker than the kitchen variety, softened by a rosy geranium over dry patchouli. The herb bed rather than the fruit bowl: a green cologne for hot days.
