    What do reviewers say about Sandalwood Cologne and Invitation?

    Warm without being heavy. Powdery without being fussy. This is the sandalwood that remembers it's a cologne, not a statement, but a choice. The kind of scent a man reaches for when he's stopped.Sandalwood Cologne
    Jean Patou built Invitation around movement, the kind of woman who plays tennis before lunch and doesn't apologize for it. Citrus opens sharp, then herbs arrive to keep things interesting.Invitation
