What do reviewers say about Drakkar Noir and Bon Monsieur?
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 a fougère that doesn't apologize for what it is. The oakmoss brings genuine earthiness, and the structure holds together from opening to dry down.Bon Monsieur
