What do reviewers say about Desire Black and Byerley?
This one plays it safe in the opening, then quietly wins you over. The smoky vetiver drydown is where Desire Black earns its name, not loud, not trying, just lingers on the skin like it belongs there.Desire Black
Some men stopped needing the room to notice. Byerley is their scent. The cardamom and vetiver pairing isn't common, and that uniqueness is the whole point, woody, aromatic.Byerley
