What do reviewers say about Chic For Men and Dark Wash?
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
Some fragrances shout. This one leans in and speaks at normal volume. The sesame opening is unexpectedly warm, the aquatic heart stays cool, and the sandalwood finish is soft.Dark Wash
