Wilgermain · 2020

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Wilgermain Possession is a unisex fragrance that keeps a fresh, floral line, pairing fruity sweetness with a bright, synthetic edge.

Eight & Bob · 2022

Fresh · Floral · Synthetic

Eight & Bob Guéthary is a unisex scent that opens with salt, tagetes and pear blossom and settles around jasmine sambac and suede.

The Dangerous Peach

8.1

Alkemia · 2022

Fresh · Fruity · Sweet

Alkemia The Dangerous Peach is a fresh, fruity unisex scent built around peach wood and peach.
