Bros (2017 Reformulation)
EDPUnisex
The Story
Bros is a rich, resinous fragrance that feels like a walk through a dark forest after a rainstorm. The 2017 reformulation smoothed out some of the rough edges while keeping the core character: a blend of fir balsam, oakmoss, and labdanum with a subtle sweetness from vanilla and benzoin. It's brooding, complex, and incredibly long-lasting.
