What do reviewers say about Xeryus and Photo?
This is a proper 1986 powerhouse. If you want something that announces itself without asking permission, you've found it. The carnation-cypress heart gives it that slightly spicy.Xeryus
This won Fragrance of the Year in 1991 for a reason, it's one of those rare masculine scents that bridges old-world barbershop and something genuinely modern.Photo
