Betwixt and Between Extrait
by Anka Kuş Parfüm
Betwixt and Between Extrait blends a lush, syrupy rose with a hauntingly smoky, woody base that evolves into a smooth cashmere musk and leather. The opening features a candied, fruit-jammy rose that lingers briefly before yielding to a ghostly, incense-like smoke and a deeply sensual amber-woody finish. On skin, the scent develops with high sillage and long-lasting wear, creating a trail that's both dramatic and intimate. The complexity lies in its shifting layers — initially sweet and fruit-forward, then cooling into a smoky, powdery, and slightly mentholated aura that lingers for days.
