What do reviewers say about No. III Swim and Father Figure?
The name promises cool water, but the scent is green, bitter, and contemplative. No. III Swim opens sharp and stays close to the skin, revealing sweetness only as it settles.No. III Swim
This one is for people who want something quiet and thoughtful, not loud. The Blackcurrant keeps it from getting too soft, but make no mistake: this is a skin scent that asks you to lean in.Father Figure
