What do reviewers say about X For Men and Sword Dancer?
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 rum note is the pivot. It keeps the incense and fir from going austere, but doesn't let the sweetness win either. A fragrance built for someone who dresses well without trying too hard.Sword Dancer
