The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Karus (formerly Numero I) by Adamo Parfum is a rich Oriental Floral fragrance launched in 2023 and crafted by perfumer Christian Provenzano. The composition opens with the warmth of rum, creating an unexpected contrast to the delicate floral notes of rose and violet that follow. This interplay between sweet spice and soft florals is underscored by a base of patchouli and cedarwood, adding depth and earthy grounding. Karus encapsulates Adamo Parfum's dedication to crafting scents that transport and resonate with individuality.

How to wear it

Karus is best applied in two generous sprays to allow the complex layers to unfold. The warm spicy notes are prominent initially but give way to the deeper floral and woody base notes over time, so it's ideal for an evening out where you want a scent that evolves with the night.
