What do reviewers say about This is Not GABA and Akigala Mandarino?
Bright, clean, and surprisingly grounded. The mandarin-passion fruit opening hits like clarity itself, the florals stay light and precise, and the moss in the drydown keeps everything real.This is Not GABA
Akigala Mandarino is not a safe, mainstream citrus. The passion fruit and raspberry in the opening give it an unexpected tropical edge, while Akigalawood in the base keeps things interesting.Akigala Mandarino
