What do reviewers say about Explosive and Ruh Al Teeb?
This is a fragrance that announces itself before you enter the room. The aldehydic punch gives it presence, the moss-patchouli base has weight, and it demands confident wear. Apply sparingly.Explosive
The chamomile is the tell. Some find it cool, almost medicinal. Others find it the most refreshing thing they've worn. What everyone agrees on: this is not a fragrance that fades quietly.Ruh Al Teeb
