    Real talk

    Built around mate absolute and Sichuan pepper, the mate is polarizing, but that's the point. Some fragrances play it safe. This one picks a side. Moderate sillage, full workday longevity.Iconic Homme
    It's not trying to be the most interesting fragrance in the room. That's exactly why it works. Explorer is the scent of someone who showed up without needing to prove anything.Explorer
