What do reviewers say about Havana Reserva and Open Black?
Tobacco the way it should smell, not a whisper but a statement. Vanilla and leather carry the vintage masculine energy, the kind that owns the room without trying.Havana Reserva
While 2013 flooded the market with aquatics and fresh cleansers, Open Black went the other way. Aromatic fougère with tobacco, patchouli, vetiver. The kind of masculine confidence that remembers when.Open Black
