What do reviewers say about Reflection Man and African Rose?
Reflection Man is not trying to shout over anyone in the room. It is a quiet confidence wrapped in aromatic herbs, soft florals, and creamy woods. The pepper note keeps things interesting without.Reflection Man
The rose doesn't whisper here. It announces itself in the opening, bold and unapologetic. But that's what makes it work. If you've been searching for a leather that refuses to choose between.African Rose
