Phoenix Shaving Viloma: shave soap & aftershave

Scent Description

Viloma marries the velvety bloom of violet with vanilla’s comforting sweetness, intertwines them with myrrh’s smoky incense, and anchors it all in the resinous musk of oud. The result is a quietly sultry, atmospheric scent—ideal for reflective evenings or an elegant night out. It glides across the skin yet commands attention, perfectly suited to the discerning gentleman unafraid to leave an impression who appreciates the exotic allure of oud.
