Launched in 2014 by MONOM, Oscuro is a Woody Floral Musk fragrance crafted by perfumer Nicola Bianchi.

Application Tips
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.
