Chris Collins - African Rooibos

A warm wind carries the scent of rooibos leaves and cedar off the South African mountains. Spicy black pepper and warm cardamom speak to a multidimensional personality, while bright bergamot brings life to the blend. It’s a scent with effortless charisma that feels like being comfortable in your skin. Lively, Poetic, Earthy. Eau de Parfum.

Featured notes
Learn more about the top, middle, and bottom notes in this fragrance.
Tonka beans are tiny, shriveled, black seeds from the Tonka tree found in Central and South America. Their slightly sweet, vanillic, and smoky hay scent adds a spicy, gourmand edge to a fragrance. Tonka beans work best in spicy and sweet scents featuring similar notes: clove, vanilla, heliotrope, bitter almonds, labdanum, cinnamon, etc. Their vanilla and hay-like scent is ideal for fall or winter, but usually blends well enough to wear any time you need a little sweet, warm spice to liven up the citrus or wood notes in a fragrance.

    Mysterious but who cares?
    I like the idea of this fragrance, but it's not something you wear for others to smell. Just for you to feel mysterious or something. I don't know in what situation to wear this, but I could see myself spraying it in a car or a case. It also gave me an allergic reaction.

    Nice, intimate fragrance
    African Rooibos is a unique but nice scent. The opening spice gives way to the calming Rooibos tea note but blends for a nice soothing fragrance. Great for a date night, maybe a signature scent for some.
