What do reviewers say about Slate and L'Homme?
Some fragrances are designed to fill a room. This one is designed to be polite. The 3-4 hour lifespan isn't a flaw, it's the point. Wear it when you want presence without performance.Slate
Built for the man who's already in the room. The citrus opens with immediate energy, but it's the patchouli-tonka drydown that earns the reputation. Moderate projection, quietly confident.L'Homme
