The Signature Stack

Understoudhment + First Love

Our most popular layering combination. The depth of Understoudhment anchored by the clean amber warmth of First Love. Wear Understoudhment as your base layer.

The Citrus Grove

First Love + Grapewood

Bright on bright. The bergamot of First Love and the grapefruit of Grapewood open together, while iris and orris meet in the heart and sandalwood carries both into a soft, clean drydown. Wear First Love as your base.

The Fresh Edge

Understoudhment + Grapewood

A fresh twist on a deep classic. Grapewood's grapefruit and fir balsam lift the oud and leather of Understoudhment, making it lighter and more wearable by day. Understoudhment goes on first.

The Fallen Angel

Not Usual + Naughty Angels

Saffron, rose and oud run through both fragrances, so they fuse instead of compete. Not Usual adds leather and depth, Naughty Angels adds magnolia and a touch of caramel. Not Usual is the base.

Layering Tips

Start with the heavier scent

Apply the richer, heavier fragrance first (oud, amber) as your base. Then add the lighter scent on top.

Different pulse points

Apply each fragrance on different areas — base on wrists, top layer on neck. They'll blend naturally as you move.

Less is more

One spray of each is enough. Layering intensifies both scents, so start subtle and build up if needed.
