    What do reviewers say about Open Road and Perseus?

    This EDT leans light and effusive. The Sichuan pepper tingle fades fast, but the lemon and red apple keep things lively for a few hours. Vetiver and patchouli create a grounded finish.Open Road
    This fragrance doesn't whisper. The grapefruit opening is assertive, almost confrontational in its freshness. If you like your citrus to bite, this is your scent.Perseus
