    What do reviewers say about Pulp and Sword Dancer?

    This is an everything-at-once fragrance. Some find it overwhelming. Others find it exactly the kind of bold, unapologetic scent that becomes a signature.Pulp
    The rum note is the pivot. It keeps the incense and fir from going austere, but doesn't let the sweetness win either. A fragrance built for someone who dresses well without trying too hard.Sword Dancer
