What do reviewers say about 1988 and Insense?
Not another late-80s flanker or another rose number. 1988 earns its name with a green clarity that most fragrances this side of 1990 have forgotten. The galbanum stings, the iris powders.1988
Discontinued. Rare. A masculine floral that doesn't apologize for being one. The aldehydes are the point of entry, you either lean in or you don't. For those who do.Insense
