Mykonos Empire

Empire is a crisp, authoritative tropical citrus Extrait de Parfum born from a collaboration between Mykonos and legendary Indonesian esports team RRQ, capturing the energy of controlled confidence through a sharp lime and bergamot opening, a vibrant ginger and coconut water heart, and a clean patchouli and tonka bean base.

VURV Craft Oro

Craft Oro by VURV is a fruity floral musk built for warm-weather wear, positioned in the accessible designer alternative space rather than as a strict lab-matched clone of any single luxury release.
