What do reviewers say about Decibel and Play in the City for Him?
Here's the thing about Decibel: it smells like what you'd get if a late-90s nightclub decided to bottle confidence. The sweet-incense combo isn't subtle, and it doesn't want to be. Affordable? Yes.Decibel
Licorice in men's fragrance is a statement. The anethole in this one doesn't shy away, giving the scent a distinct character that stands apart from more conventional masculine choices.Play in the City for Him
