    Bold warmth without apology. Pure Blend doesn't whisper, the saffron-clove-cinnamon core announces itself and stays. It's a winter scent for someone who wants their fragrance to actually show up.Silver Shadow Pure Blend
    Star anise is not a shy note. It opens this fragrance like a statement, and if black pepper follows, you know this is not playing it safe. Overall effect is warm and atmospheric.L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme EDT
