What do reviewers say about Grounded and Portuguese Man O' War?
Some fragrances announce themselves. This one arrives and stays, something mineral and warm that settles close to the skin rather than projecting loudly across a room. The concrete note isn't cold.Grounded
The gunpowder is the thing. Not smoky-sweet like oud, not incense. It's metallic, crackling, almost aggressive, then the fucus absolute wraps around it like cold saltwater.Portuguese Man O' War
