    What do reviewers say about Only Black and Only Blue?

    This isn't a fragrance that needs to prove anything. Quiet confidence is the whole point. The apple-violet-lavender combo stays clean without going boring.Only Black
    This one starts fruity and ends woody. The pineapple opens sweet, then clove and leather take over. Not subtle. Not trying to be. The kind of fragrance that knows exactly what it is by the second.Only Blue
