What do reviewers say about Escape for Men and Smart Goldskin?
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
Powdery florals with a fruity warmth underneath. Not a statement fragrance, something you'd wear every day and still mean it. The kind of sweet that plays it cool.Smart Goldskin
