The Story Behind The Brand

We Built This
Because We Had To.

A blood test. A diagnosis that made no sense. And one question that changed everything: what the hell is in my cologne?

My testosterone was that of an 80-year-old man.

I was exhausted. No energy. No drive. I went to the doctor expecting one answer and got another one entirely. The numbers on that blood test didn't match my age, my lifestyle, or anything I understood about myself.

So I started digging. And what I found made me furious.

The culprit was hiding in plain sight — in the "luxury" fragrance I sprayed on every single morning.

Phthalates. Endocrine disruptors. Chemicals legally hidden behind one word on the label: "parfum." I had no idea. Nobody told me. The brand certainly didn't.

I refused to accept that smelling good meant getting sick in silence.

I looked for a clean alternative. Something dark, masculine, and built to perform — without the hidden chemicals. I couldn't find it. Not at any price point. Not from any brand I respected.

So I built it myself.

Davide Sandoré is named for my son.

Because he is the reason I fight. Because I want him — and every son of every man like me — to grow up in a world where the things you put on your body don't quietly work against you.

This brand is a decision. A refusal to compromise. A declaration that clean and powerful are not opposites.

This isn’t just a perfume. It’s proof that you don’t have to choose between smelling incredible and protecting your body.

Zero phthalates. Full transparency. No exceptions.

Every ingredient in Obsidian Sky is chosen deliberately, disclosed fully, and held to a standard the fragrance industry refuses to adopt. No loopholes. No hiding behind trade secret laws. No compromise on what goes on your skin.

We make one scent right now. We made it to be the best. When we make another, it will meet the same standard or it won’t exist.
