What do reviewers say about Citoyen and Duc de Vervins?
This is the fougère that traditionalists reach for. Not reinventing anything, just doing the classics with restraint and honesty. Clean lines, herbal heart, green drydown.Citoyen
This is what people mean when they say 'classical.' Not stuffy. Not dated. Just correct. The kind of fragrance that smells expensive because it was composed before anyone decided masculine fragrance.Duc de Vervins
