My wife likes to stock our powder room with new and exciting fragrances— I keep going back to this one. It smells great especially in the fall, I guess it has some woody notes that feels like a spa or cocktail lounge :)
FRUTO OSCURO
Woody Fruity
BEST INDIE FRAGRANCE FINALIST | CEW
A tribute to centuries-old desserts that leave a mysterious, mouthwatering aura in their wake.
A scent that pays homage to Mexico's dark fleshy fruits, drawing inspiration from centuries-old desserts. The Mayans understood the sacred power of these fruits – particularly Zapote (mamey), its flesh the color of sunset, its seeds promising eternal cycles of renewal. At its heart, capulín cherries, the kind that stain the fingertips red, melt into a bed of earthy patchouli and frankincense.
50ml / 1.7 fl oz. Eau de Parfum.
NOTES
TOP: Capulin (Mexican Black Cherry), Zapote, Pink Pepper, Artemisia (Wormwood), Elemi
HEART: Quince Jam, Mamey, Davana, Clove Stem, Black Pepper
BASE: Frankincense, Upcycled Patchouli Heart, Guaiacwood, Blackberry
FRAGRANCE FAMILY: Woody Fruity
INSPIRATION
This fragrance draws its inspiration from rare indigenous fruits, featuring capulín cherries and mamey as central notes - authentic Mexican fruits rarely used in mainstream perfumery, offering a truly distinctive experience that explores perspectives unheard.

MINDFUL SOURCING
Paraguayan Guaiac Wood: Protected Forest Treasure
Our Guaiac Wood comes from the sacred Palo Santo tree that grows naturally in Paraguay's El Chaco region, a vast wilderness covering more than half the country. These special trees aren't farmed—they grow wild across the landscape. Because this resource requires protection, our local partners have developed innovative, government-approved forest management plans that ensure we harvest responsibly.
Sustainable Patchouli: Supporting Small Farmers
Since 2012, our supplier has built relationships with nearly 1,000 small-scale patchouli farmers to ensure both quality ingredients and community support. This program provides training in eco-friendly growing and distillation methods to hundreds of local producers.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.6 / 5 from 39 reviews.
Slightly too sweet and bubblegum-y when first applied but settles into a really rich and unique scent. Great fragrance overall and great service too.

Very good scent. I really like this one
Michael 5/5
I love all things Frankincense but what really got me were the dark fruit undertones. Long lasting but not overwhelming.
Tania 5/5
Oscuro was a light airy smell that lasted all day!
David 5/5
i enjoy the dry down. hated it at first spray but that dry down is absolutely divine n peppery/fruity on my skin
Mickiella 5/5
Such an interesting scent - I can definitely see why there are some who don’t like it. It’s a personal choice, but I loved it. Such a different scent and I loved the way it faded throughout the evening.
Jessica 4/5
Love the general smell, but there's a characteristic of a smell I've been searching for that this misses. Its soo close! Good for all year round honestly.
Frank 4/5
Smells good and last a decent amount of time. Kind of on the strong side.
Zz 4/5
Lasts several hours, especially on top of body oil, and pairs well with gourmands and dark cherry. I love this one so much
Savana 5/5
Me and my boys both wear this and it smells so good on both of us
Erika 5/5
My first impression was intoxicating! Drunk off the marriage of these dark fleshy fruits & spices. This scent is not for the weak, tickle my fancy kind. Liquid Seduction at its best!!
Kristina 5/5
Really nice spice scent, not overpowering but just right
Richard 4/5
This has a tartness to it that I really like. It makes it very unique and not like other perfumes that I've smelled. I enjoyed this one.
Aria 5/5
I really love this scent! I work with the public and I am constantly getting compliments on my scent!
Toni 5/5
Honestly I had never heard of this fragrance so when I received it and sprayed it I was pleasantly surprised at the spice and wood notes that it gave off! And when it settles on you it smells even better!!
Kimberly 4/5
Scents are super duper personal, but if this scent was less sweet and had absolutely zero patchouli notes, it would be the perfect scent for me. Unfortunately , the patchouli stays way too heavy on my skin and the honeydew type of light sweetness brings Fruto Oscuro in a more feminine register and I prefer my scents to be more gender neutral. i will absolutely keep wearing it as it is still and awesome scent.
Rose 4/5
The perfume was a pleasant aroma that lasts
Marcella 4/5
I didn’t get a lot of the other notes from this but as someone who is typically patchouli averse, this was a nice surprise.
Kaitlyn 4/5
If your looking for and everyday smell take this with you in the car in the office the gym it’s needed .
Breeon 5/5
Smells too warm at first but when it fades it smells la good good for date night
Cidelia 4/5
On initially spray I was very taken aback. This starts off SPICY. It was a little much at first because it was unexpected. However on the comedown it goes from spicy to more sweet and fruity. Definitely a few green notes in there as well. Great fall scent I feel.
Eric 5/5
this has a spice to it. it is very bold when sprayed but dries down to a very warm subtle sexy smell. I really like it, wish they offered a full bottle.
Heather 5/5
When I first tried this out, I immediately smelled root beer. It’s a lovely, spicy fragrance that’s complex which is what I tend to go for.
Maleina 4/5
More masculine then I though it would be. Not for me but smells great fir a man
Tynissha 4/5
It smells exactly like burned incense, but has a fruit smell versus a wood scented base. It also has a strong green smell. I loved it, but it smells less like perfume and more like the lingering scent of incense. I don’t really get the patchouli from it. It is definitely a more feminine smelling scent than masculine, as far as incense scents go, but if you are not familiar with these smells, I can see why others may think it is for men. All of the kids loved it because of the fruity scent, but they are used to smelling what I burn around the house. They asked me to buy a bottle for them to share, so I guess this could be labeled a more youthful scent than sophisticated.
Patricia 5/5
This smells amazing on on my husband. This makes People feral in a good way
Joshua 5/5
My husband loves it, while it is unisex I wouldn’t say it’s femme enough for me. But husband totally loves the scent.
Maritza 4/5
The scent is very nice withh deep and complex notes
Matthew 4/5
Nice back end after u pass the aromatherapy light up the room with a top sparkle
Reginald 5/5
I would consider this one a more office like scent. As the title says, it’s like a mix between the Tom ford scents. I don’t hate it, but I also don’t love it either. I like it but just barely to give it 4 stars. It does last throughout the day and I work an office job.
Rafael 4/5
Makes me feel sexy and mysterious like the enemy in a booktok enemies to lovers
Melanie 5/5
It's got a great lingering smell, soft but really comes thru as a fresh citrus smokey smell. It's one of those fragrances that someone will say "whos wearing that", but not be over powering to those sensitive to smell in your group.
Julio 5/5
starts with a strong scent then smoothes too your natural tone skin. I like it. ❤️
Hector 4/5
This fragrance is the spiciest scent I've ever worn. It starts off strong and finished sweet. It's sexy and cozy and I love it so much!
