what our parfumaria team thinks of this fragrance
reasons is an introspective fragrance, subtle yet rich in character. the nutty and spicy opening immediately feels comforting, before revealing an herbaceous and slightly sweet davana heart. as it dries down, smoky palo santo and resins give the scent its meditative, grounding depth. we find this perfume perfect for quiet, thoughtful moments and for those who prefer understated elegance over bold statements.
