What do reviewers say about Barber Note and Bon Monsieur?
It's aggressive. Above-average projection means it announces itself before you enter, and it doesn't apologize for staying. Not everyone wants that. But if you do, this is the one.Barber Note
This is a fougère that doesn't apologize for what it is. The oakmoss brings genuine earthiness, and the structure holds together from opening to dry down.Bon Monsieur
