Civet and honey. Oakmoss and leather. Not for those who want their fragrance to whisper. Gentleman (1974) makes its presence known with conviction, the kind of scent that announces you've arrived.Gentleman (1974)
Some fragrances hide patchouli. This one puts it center stage, front and center, and dares you to stick around. The 1996 gamble? A full pyramid built on one note. It pays off.Patchouli
