What do reviewers say about Manly and Vir?
Some fragrances ask permission. This one doesn't. It's an oud-tobacco-leather composition that arrives from the start with confidence and refuses to soften for the crowd.Manly
If you're expecting recreational cannabis, look elsewhere. The hemp here is the green thread that stops cedar and oud from becoming another predictable dark-wood story. It makes Vir more interesting.Vir
