What do reviewers say about Steel Sugar and Bad Boy?
This is for someone who wants sweet but doesn't want to smell like dessert. The gingerbread-tobacco combination is unusual, it reads as gourmand on first spray, then gets darker, smokier.Steel Sugar
Bad Boy earns its name through restraint. The pepper doesn't stab, the cedar doesn't dominate, the cocoa doesn't cloy. This is calculated confidence, not performance.Bad Boy
