Ruah Extrait

Which Should You Buy?
A divisive yet beloved aquatic that transports you straight to a Mediterranean coastline. It's a genuine ocean-in-a-bottle scent, loved by many for its unique take on marine notes, but be warned: if you're not a fan of seaweed, this isn't for you.
This one's a proper citrus bomb, but don't let that fool you into thinking it's fleeting. It's divisive - some find it a touch too synthetic, while others adore its metallic, futuristic fresh lemon that lasts ages, especially in the heat.
