    What do reviewers say about Mayfair and London?

    This one doesn't whisper. The animalic notes, civet, beeswax, leather, give it a presence that demands nothing from you except commitment. Some will find it too much.Mayfair
    This is the Tom Ford for people who want to be remembered, not just liked. The cumin opens sharp, almost confrontational, then smoke and oud take over. It lasts and it projects.London
