What do reviewers say about Insense and Quartz pour Homme?
Discontinued. Rare. A masculine floral that doesn't apologize for being one. The aldehydes are the point of entry, you either lean in or you don't. For those who do.Insense
Here's the thing about 90s masculinity in fragrance: it was all muscle and projection. Quartz pour Homme plays a different game entirely. This is the one you wear when you've already won the room.Quartz pour Homme
