What do reviewers say about Drakkar Noir and Duc de Vervins?
This fragrance has opinions. The 1982 lavender-mint opening either speaks to you or it doesn't, and for those it speaks to, nothing else fills the same space.Drakkar Noir
This is what people mean when they say 'classical.' Not stuffy. Not dated. Just correct. The kind of fragrance that smells expensive because it was composed before anyone decided masculine fragrance.Duc de Vervins
