What do reviewers say about Homme de Café and Drakkar Noir?
This isn't a coffee fragrance despite the name. The clove-and-raspberry heart is the actual conversation. The carnation leaves bring an herbal quality that keeps the sweetness honest.Homme de Café
This fragrance has opinions. The 1982 lavender-mint opening either speaks to you or it doesn't, and for those it speaks to, nothing else fills the same space.Drakkar Noir
