What do reviewers say about Ultimate and Mechant Loup?
Baldessarini Ultimate is the kind of EDT that quietly outperforms many EDPs. The leather-frankincense drydown is surprisingly animalic for a mainstream release, and the jasmine in the heart keeps.Ultimate
Méchant Loup is unapologetically animalic in name alone. The actual scent is a study in contrasts: sharp then soft, sweet then resinous. It's a wolf that bites first, then holds you close.Mechant Loup
