What do reviewers say about The Extreme and Herod?
The sweetness here isn't polite. It's the kind that owns the room, kulfi, vanilla, amber doing overtime. If that's what you're after, you'll wear this into the ground.The Extreme
Some fragrances suggest. Herod insists. The tobacco-vanilla base isn't subtle, it's the whole argument, and it wins. Sweet enough to pull people in, structured enough to keep them at a distance.Herod
