What do reviewers say about DEV #1: Foreplay and Aranyaka?
Not for the faint of heart. The animalic notes here aren't decorative, they're the point. If you've ever wanted to smell like a room someone else just left, this is your fragrance.DEV #1: Foreplay
Some fragrances whisper. Aranyaka doesn't. The animalic notes arrive early and stay late, castoreum, civet, goatskin weaving through smoke and leather. It's not for those who want to smell invisible.Aranyaka
