    What do reviewers say about Francesco Smalto pour Homme and Xeryus?

    This is a 1987 fougère that didn't play it safe. While other masculine scents of the era went soft, this one bit with anise and tarragon. That Mediterranean character gives it a herb-garden edge.Francesco Smalto pour Homme
    This is a proper 1986 powerhouse. If you want something that announces itself without asking permission, you've found it. The carnation-cypress heart gives it that slightly spicy.Xeryus
