    What do reviewers say about Escape and South Seas?

    The 1991 vintage carries weight. People remember this one. Seek it out. That kind of credibility doesn't happen by accident. With 8-10 hours of staying power and sillage that announces without.Escape
    Some people want a fragrance that announces itself. South Seas isn't that. It's the one you reach for when you want to smell like the moment you arrived, not like you planned it.South Seas
