    What do reviewers say about X For Men and Reckless Pour Homme?

    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
    Reckless Pour Homme isn't trying to win you over in the first thirty seconds. It opens sharp, bay leaf and artemisia don't ask permission. If that makes you flinch, this isn't for you.Reckless Pour Homme
