What do reviewers say about The Fragrance and Drakkar Noir?
This is a fragrance that knows exactly what it wants. Seven white florals in the heart, green notes that don't apologize, and a vintage chypre structure that refuses to be tame.The Fragrance
This fragrance has opinions. The 1982 lavender-mint opening either speaks to you or it doesn't, and for those it speaks to, nothing else fills the same space.Drakkar Noir
