    What do reviewers say about Francesco Smalto pour Homme and Bon Monsieur?

    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 fougère that doesn't apologize for what it is. The oakmoss brings genuine earthiness, and the structure holds together from opening to dry down.Bon Monsieur
