What do reviewers say about Xeryus Rouge and Primo?
The cactus-pepper opening is the divide. You either lean in or you don't. Once cedar takes over, everyone comes around. This is an oriental for people who like to argue first and agree later.Xeryus Rouge
Maple syrup in a men's fragrance sounds gimmicky. It isn't. Here it's mineral heat and spiced geranium underneath, making sweetness worth wearing. It redefines masculine sweetness.Primo
