LOST IN PARADISE - Chris Collins

Classic Men's fragrance - this is the perfect scent for a man who likes a classic aromatic men's cologne, but done with a modern, alluring twist.

RENAISSANCE by Chris Collins

HOUSE - Zernell Gillie Fragrances

Pop of red fruits (strawberry, cherry, raspberry) with complex backbone of patchouli, saffron, leather and incense. Unisex. Best for a night out.

Black, woman-owned indie fragrance brand with an emphasis on clean beauty and diversity.

Worthy

Brand New is a soft summer fragrance with subtle tropical vibes. Notes of citrus, soft spices, florals, coconut, and salty skin fresh out of the ocean.

Brand New

‘Pretty’ & ‘Grunge’ combined into one perfume, with notes of soft leather (saffron) and incense blended with fruits and florals for a balanced tough, but vulnerable vibe.
