What do reviewers say about The Black Knight and Noir Anthracite?
This isn't a fragrance that eases you in. The opening demands you meet it, that leather isn't shy, the vetiver doesn't whisper. This is a story worth telling.The Black Knight
Here's what enthusiasts understand: this isn't another competent woody. The galbanum and Sichuan pepper open like a slap of cold air, sharp, confrontational.Noir Anthracite
