    What do reviewers say about HiM and Wow!?

    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
    This is cardamom's fragrance. It doesn't ask permission, the spice hits first, asserts itself, then slowly yields to warmth. Some call it medicinal at the opening. Others call it the best part.Wow!
