    What do reviewers say about L'Homme and Secret?

    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
    The orange blossom opening doesn't ask permission. It's loud, alive, and polarizing by design. As the initial wave settles, the lily and green notes make their presence known.Secret
