What do reviewers say about Drakkar Noir and Insignia?
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
It's a classic fougere, and it doesn't pretend otherwise. The oakmoss gives it that traditional, mossy-woody character. Either you want that deep, herbal, mossy quality or you don't.Insignia
