Homme Parfum

In everyday terms

Rich iris and leather. Dark and elegant.

Bergamot

Bright, fresh citrus, like the zest of a lime with a soft floral edge

Iris

Powdery and soft, like lipstick or face powder

Rose

Fresh red roses, like a wedding hall bouquet

Leather

Rich and smoky, like new leather shoes from Aba

Sandalwood

Creamy, smooth wood, like sandalwood soap

Oud

Deep, smoky oud, like the turare and bakhoor burned in Hausa homes during Sallah

Amber

Warm, sweet and resinous, like soft incense glowing in a room

How it wears

In Nigerian heat, most perfumes project more but fade faster. Spray some on your clothes to make it last longer.
