What do reviewers say about L'Homme and Romance for Men?
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
An EDT that goes floral in the heart and actually commits. Romance for Men puts geranium and rose in the middle of a men's composition, and makes it work.Romance for Men
