    What do reviewers say about cruising-area and Monsieur?

    This isn't a fragrance you choose. It chooses the night. The smoke is thick, the clove bites, and patchouli doesn't apologize for being patchouli. If you're looking for something safe, look elsewhere.cruising-area
    Monsieur gives you rum warmth worn into fabric and leather, with tangerine brightening just enough that it never gets heavy. The drydown brings suede and vanilla close to the skin.Monsieur
