    What do reviewers say about Amsterdam and Ocean Rain?

    Honest take: Amsterdam opens like a spice market at dawn and settles into something quieter, almost contemplative. The pepper notes are the stars here, making this one of the more assertive Gallivant.Amsterdam
    In 1990, aquatics were a playground for synthetics. Roudnitska disagreed. His last fragrance anchors the ocean in leather and oakmoss instead. What arrives is not the typical aquatic story.Ocean Rain
