What do reviewers say about Carbon and Quasar Classic?
Ginger gives it nerve, that bright, almost startling spark up top that keeps it from being just another citrus freshie. The woody finish saves it from disappearing.Carbon
Lavender-forward with an herbal edge most modern masculines left behind. Galbanum and tarragon give it a green bite. It carries the classic fougère forward, botanical and composed.Quasar Classic
