    Real talk

    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 fragrance has opinions. The 1982 lavender-mint opening either speaks to you or it doesn't, and for those it speaks to, nothing else fills the same space.Drakkar Noir
