Armaf Aura

Armaf Aura is a fresh spicy aromatic fragrance that captures the energetic aquatic citrus DNA of Paco Rabanne Invictus through a crisp apple and bergamot opening, a powdery floral heart built around iris and violet, and a smooth woody musky amber base.

Jo Milano Paris Levante Intense

Levante Intense is an early Jo Milano Paris Eau de Parfum from 2019, built around marine freshness, grapefruit and aromatic bay leaf before oakmoss, patchouli, ambergris and guaiac wood create a dry woody base. The Atlas maps its structure to Paco Rabanne Invictus, but Jo Milano gives the profile a greener and more mossy finish.
