Launched in 2014 by MONOM, Oscuro is a Woody Floral Musk fragrance crafted by perfumer Nicola Bianchi. The composition opens with an earthy and aromatic blend of lavender and patchouli, creating a tension between freshness and warmth. As it settles, the powdery musk and woody notes take over, grounding the scent in a deep, comforting embrace that lasts throughout the day.

How to wear it

Given its enormous sillage and long-lasting nature, one spray is sufficient. The fragrance blooms quickly on the skin, so it’s best applied just before you need to step out. It reads well across a room but can also be enjoyed close to the skin.
