The "Deep Dive"

The Dry-Down

Reef 15 opens with a vibrant burst of bergamot, gradually softening to reveal the deep, woody complexity of oud. Over time, the citrus peaks subtly mellow, allowing the warm, rich base of oud to unfold completely. It transitions smoothly from its sharp opening to a deeper, more intimate scent, without overwhelming. This dry down is perfect for those who enjoy a journey of scent evolution, from fresh to profound, maintaining a refined balance between invigorating top notes and an enduring woody base.
