What do reviewers say about Black Tie and Bois Intense?
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
Here's a secret about powdery fragrances, they get dismissed as soft, as wallflowers. Bois Intense rewrites that. The iris keeps things elegant, but myrrh and leather add warmth that lingers after.Bois Intense
