What do reviewers say about Umbra and Live Jazz?
Umbra isn't for those who want to fill a room. It's for those who want to leave a trace. Vetiver-dominant, cedar-forward, oakmoss at the base, this is earthy without apology.Umbra
Most fresh fragrances give you citrus and call it a day. Live Jazz takes a different path. It gets herbal, gets slightly medicinal with rhubarb and coriander, then rewards you with vanilla warmth.Live Jazz
