What do reviewers say about Crossmen Original and Drakkar Noir?
Built for a different era, when men wore one fragrance and it stayed. The projection is intimate, the longevity moderate, four to six hours depending on your skin. That's not a flaw. That's freedom.Crossmen Original
This fragrance has opinions. The 1982 lavender-mint opening either speaks to you or it doesn't, and for those it speaks to, nothing else fills the same space.Drakkar Noir
