    What do reviewers say about Signature and Black XS?

    Built for the guy who doesn't overthink what he sprays. Not a statement fragrance. Not trying to announce itself across a room. The mint opening is genuinely refreshing.Signature
    This one divides. Some find the praline sweetness too much; others spray it every morning like their alarm. That citrus opening doesn't play it safe, it's the bridge to something richer.Black XS
