What do reviewers say about Romulus and African Leather?
Bold leather with a sweet side that knows how to use it. Romulus isn't trying to be your signature, it's too singular for that. It wants to be the scent people remember, the one they ask about.Romulus
The opening is bold and unapologetic. That contrast, spicy and leathery at once, creates an immediate statement. People who love it tend to wear it as their signature.African Leather
