    Real talk

    An affordable fragrance that doesn't apologize for what it is. The cooling mint cuts through the warmth, and moderate sillage keeps it wearable all day without being invisible.Performance Intense Black
    It's been the baseline for 'masculine done right' since 1998, and for good reason. Fruity-sweet without being juvenile, warm without being heavy. The kind of scent that earns the word 'reliable' like.Boss Bottled
