RUBEN
A chypre with a twist, contrasting freshness with dark complexity.
Notes: Lavender, bergamot, oud, orange blossom, oakmoss
Ruben is a richly layered fragrance that reimagines the classic masculine chypre in a more modern and distinctive way. Opening with lavender and bergamot, it moves into a heart of petitgrain, orange blossom, and bitter almond, before settling into an intricate base of oud and oakmoss. Fresh at first, then darker and more complex as it develops, Ruben balances brightness and depth with a refined edge.
