Read the full tale

Opens with red currant and lychee: juicy, bright, and a little mischievous. It doesn’t ease you in. It flirts from the first moment. Then the rose arrives with a soft thread of lily, turning all that sweetness into something with real intention. This isn’t a shy rose. It knows exactly what it’s doing. The base settles into bourbon vanilla, grounded by earthy vetiver so it never tips into candy. Warm and close to skin, it’s the kind of dry-down you keep lifting your wrist to catch.

Ingredients: Fragrance (Parfum), Dipropylene Glycol.

The format

Why oil.

A closer way to wear fragrance, built for the way you move.

Concentrated

Use less, hit harder. Oil sits on skin instead of evaporating off it, so one or two passes carry the day.

Lasts months

One bottle runs up to four months of daily wear.* A spray bottle this size would be gone in weeks.

Goes anywhere

Roll it on at your pulse points. No mist, no overspray, nothing to declare at security.

The ritual

How to wear it.

A little at the pulse points is enough.

Line drawing of the pulse points: behind the ear, the lower neck, the chest and the inner wristBehind the earLower neckChestInner wrist
  1. Less than you think

    One or two passes: behind the ears, the lower neck, the wrists. You'll stop noticing it long before others do.

  2. To warm skin

    Pulse points lift the scent and carry it through the day. Roll it onto skin, and let your clothes pick it up from there.

  3. Chest, fresh out of the shower

    Body heat helps the scent open up, and once it's absorbed, it can naturally carry onto your clothes.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

How close does it smell to Carolina Herrera Very Good Girl?
It follows the same accord, built to sit right next to Carolina Herrera Very Good Girl. On skin, the character reads the same, for the person who knows exactly what it is and isn't paying designer prices to wear it.
How long does it last on my skin?
Through most of the day from a morning application. The oil releases slowly, so you'll still catch it hours later. The bottle itself runs up to four months with light daily wear.*
Why roll-on instead of spray?
Oil sits close to skin, uses less fragrance per pass and fits in a pocket. There is no mist or overspray.
What's in it?
Two ingredients: the fragrance and dipropylene glycol (DPG), a clear carrier used throughout perfumery. No alcohol.
What if it isn't for me?
Wear it for thirty days. If it isn't yours, tell us and we'll refund you. You keep the bottle. Scent is personal. We don't want a bottle sitting unloved on your shelf.

Why UBORA exists

Excellence, bottled.

For years, the fragrances I admired came with a price tag that put them out of reach. The best compliment I ever got wasn’t about my title or my clothes, it was “you smell amazing.” UBORA exists so that feeling doesn’t require a savings plan.
