What do reviewers say about Speakeasy and Alkemi?
Some will reach for the word masculine. Others will just reach for the bottle again. The rum gives it nerve; the tobacco keeps it honest. It's the kind of fragrance that doesn't need to argue.Speakeasy
The kind of scent you wear for yourself first. Moderate sillage means it stays close, a quiet companion through long winter evenings rather than a room-announcing entrance.Alkemi
