What do reviewers say about Yatagan and Balafre Brun?
Some fragrances announce themselves. Yatagan persists. The galbanum cuts sharp and stays, pushing through the citrus and florals into leather and smoke that remain present as hours pass. Not subtle.Yatagan
This is the masculine chypre that refuses to apologize for what it is. The tobacco and leather don't soften. The earthiness doesn't yield. An 8-10 hour drydown that earns its place on anyone willing.Balafre Brun
