    Real talk

    Chic For Men does something unusual by opening with watermelon, and it actually works. The citrus keeps it from feeling gimmicky, while the spiced drydown saves it from being another freshie.Chic For Men
    L'Homme is the anti-thesis of the powerhouse fragrances that dominated the mid-2000s. It plays things close to the chest, which means it often gets overlooked.L'Homme
