    What do reviewers say about Burning and Challenge?

    Seven top notes is a statement. The opening doesn't ease in gently, it arrives with force and immediately establishes its presence. This is a fragrance that knows what it wants to be.Burning
    It's the fragrance people reach for when they want to smell like they tried, without smelling like they tried too hard. The citrus-ginger opening has an athleticism that never quite fades.Challenge
