    What do reviewers say about Prelude to Love and Gentlewoman?

    Clean enough to wear anywhere. But underneath, that creamy neroli knows something you haven't said yet. This is the scent of a first date that goes somewhere.Prelude to Love
    For anyone who's wanted a cologne that doesn't flinch, this delivers. The almond and musk drydown keeps it from being just another fresh citrus. Bold in the old-school way, without smelling like it.Gentlewoman
