What do reviewers say about HiM and Manhattan?
Some spicy woody fragrances feel like they have something to prove. HiM doesn't. It's warmth without noise, spice without aggression, the kind of scent that earns loyalty instead of compliments.HiM
The opening is spicy and a little strange, some people think it's too much. That's the point. Push past the first hour and what you get is a drydown that smells like nothing else: warm, tea-forward.Manhattan
