Real talk
X for Men is genuinely expensive, and it smells like it. The cardamom-ginger opening does not apologize for itself, and the vanilla drydown is patient enough to reward those who wait.X For Men
The chai inspiration is everything here, warm, sweet, and lactonic without being sugary. Some wearers reapply after 4 hours. But that woody drydown? Worth it.Rare Woods Elixir
