What do reviewers say about Havana and Fougere Bengale?
Old-school masculine that still knows how to make an entrance. The tobacco doesn't whisper, it occupies the room. If you're after something that asks nothing of you except confidence, this delivers.Havana
English barbershop cleanliness, then Bengal makes its presence known. This isn't for the neat and contained, it's for the wearer who wants their fragrance to carry weight. Bold. Hay-forward.Fougere Bengale
