What do reviewers say about Black Tie Affair and Versace Pour Homme?
Built to be noticed without trying. The tuxedo metaphor is literal at first, crisp, formal, bergamot-and-violet smart. But the ambergris is the tell.Black Tie Affair
Versace Pour Homme plays a reliable game. The citrus opening is bold but not aggressive, and the cedarwood heart keeps things from getting too soft. The oud in the base is subtle enough not to scare.Versace Pour Homme
