What do reviewers say about L'Homme and Black Orris?
Built for the man who's already in the room. The citrus opens with immediate energy, but it's the patchouli-tonka drydown that earns the reputation. Moderate projection, quietly confident.L'Homme
Iris is usually a women's note. Black Orris disagrees. The powdery softness is there, but framed by black pepper and sandalwood, masculine enough to hold it.Black Orris
