What do reviewers say about BOYS and Hummingbird?
Some people smell strawberry milk. Others get plasticine and rubber. The latex note is the divide, and the point. Built for anyone who thinks sweet should mean shameless, not subtle.BOYS
This is a clean, approachable scent that reads as effortless elegance. The honey note is the star, but it stays away from being cloying. It hums with quiet confidence.Hummingbird
