What do reviewers say about Yatagan and Basala?
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
The 1990s were drowning in aquatics and clean freshies. Basala went the opposite direction, a bold, leathery chypre with enough herbal complexity to smell like nothing else on the market.Basala
