What do reviewers say about Santal Pondicherry and Ormonde Man?
The saffron doesn't announce itself. It complicates things. That warm, slightly medicinal spice threading through cedar and vanilla means this isn't a safe bet.Santal Pondicherry
Ormonde Man is not trying to impress you. It opens clean with cardamom and pink pepper, builds into something darker with hemlock and oud, then settles into cedar and sandalwood.Ormonde Man
