Chris Collins - African Rooibos

A warm wind carries the scent of rooibos leaves and cedar off the South African mountains. Spicy black pepper and warm cardamom speak to a multidimensional personality, while bright bergamot brings life to the blend. It’s a scent with effortless charisma that feels like being comfortable in your skin. Lively, Poetic, Earthy. Eau de Parfum.

Featured notes
Learn more about the top, middle, and bottom notes in this fragrance.
Tonka beans are tiny, shriveled, black seeds from the Tonka tree found in Central and South America. Their slightly sweet, vanillic, and smoky hay scent adds a spicy, gourmand edge to a fragrance. Tonka beans work best in spicy and sweet scents featuring similar notes: clove, vanilla, heliotrope, bitter almonds, labdanum, cinnamon, etc. Their vanilla and hay-like scent is ideal for fall or winter, but usually blends well enough to wear any time you need a little sweet, warm spice to liven up the citrus or wood notes in a fragrance.

    Super Spicy Top and Vanilla Dry Down
    Absolutely incredible fragrance - I liked it so much I bought the whole bottle and have already used half of it. I get tons of compliments every time I wear it out. 2 sprays lasts a good 4-6 hours.

    It was very spicy and woody, like a cinnamon stick. But maybe someone might love it; I did not.
