What do reviewers say about Escape for Men and Sunwater?
If you want a fragrance that smells like a summer afternoon without trying too hard, this is it. The woody drydown keeps things from becoming cloying or overly sweet.Escape for Men
Lancaster's quietest win. Sunwater threads Riesling's vinous lift through the melon and florals, giving it a structure that reads sophisticated rather than sweet.Sunwater
