What do reviewers say about Cristobal pour Homme and L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme EDT?
The amber-tobacco drydown is where this fragrance becomes unmistakable. Other masculines do spicy openings. This one earns its reputation in the final act, warm, resinous, and impossible to scrub off.Cristobal pour Homme
Star anise is not a shy note. It opens this fragrance like a statement, and if black pepper follows, you know this is not playing it safe. Overall effect is warm and atmospheric.L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme EDT
