What do reviewers say about Black Tie and Leo?
Black Tie is a fragrance that knows what it wants. No accoutrements, no opening fanfare. Just a precise, VANILLA-DRIS IRIS core wrapped in cedar and earth. Understated in the best way possible.Black Tie
This is the fragrance for someone who wants to be remembered without trying too hard. The sweet-spicy balance walks a line, gourmand enough to comfort, sharp enough to intrigue.Leo
