Flowerbomb Nectar opens with a flash of metallic brightness—gunpowder's mineral tang colliding with bergamot—before settling into a warmer floral bed.

Iron Duke opens with a jolt—black powder residue and spirit-soaked leather, as if someone's just fired a flintlock in a ship's hold.

Creed

Himalaya opens with a sharp citrus burst—grapefruit and bergamot meeting pink pepper in a clean, almost austere introduction.
