    Real talk

    It's the clary sage. Bright, almost herbal, unapologetically green at the start. Some find that sharp; others find it's exactly the kind of clarity a masculine scent needs before the warmth takes.Les Parfums Mythiques - Xeryus
    This is a 1987 fougère that didn't play it safe. While other masculine scents of the era went soft, this one bit with anise and tarragon. That Mediterranean character gives it a herb-garden edge.Francesco Smalto pour Homme
