What do reviewers say about Escape for Men and Oscar Tropical Flower?
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
This is tropical without trying too hard. The opening hits bright and juicy, but the white florals ground it fast, gardenia and frangipani doing the real work. It's confident.Oscar Tropical Flower
