AMORA

Top
Neroli for days, ethereal whisps of cotton candy, jammy roses

Base
Sandalwood, rich caramel leather

This is our fervent love letter to the Killian masterpiece, Love Don’t Be Shy. While we don’t make dupes, it is impossible to deny that some iconic fragrances become a part of our DNA. LDBS is one of those that is a rich memory callback, something so unique when it was released it felt like a world opened up. As a self-taught perfumer, I studied that wispy, sweet lift for hours, days, weeks, months. I tested dozens of different rose absolutes and oils, and neroli extracts from Asia, Europe, North Africa. Every avenue for a soft leather note was explored.

In the end, Amora is a study and a love letter, but certainly it is its own pretty little thing, too. The rose that finally got us here is actually a marvel on its own, a somewhat new rose extract made from upcycled rose petals! Literal discards that have been brought back to life after the first distillation and provide a wholly unique, jammy, leathery goodness that is an absolute marvel of modern green tech. The neroli notes come from a special neroli grown and processed in Tunisia, the most remarkable of any we found.

If you are going to work, but maybe lunch with someone later that you are kind of into.
