What do reviewers say about CK Free and Sauvage?
The anise does the talking at first. Bold, almost aggressive. But two hours in, you're left with clean cedar and suede, like something that's been wearing well all day.CK Free
Sauvage EDP is unapologetically bold. Synthetic in the best possible way, clean, sharp, designed to announce. If you want to whisper, this isn't the bottle.Sauvage
