What do reviewers say about Sword Dancer and Rasputin?
The rum note is the pivot. It keeps the incense and fir from going austere, but doesn't let the sweetness win either. A fragrance built for someone who dresses well without trying too hard.Sword Dancer
Pineapple opens sweet, almost innocent, then the spices arrive with cardamom and cloves creating warmth. The dark chocolate adds richness in the heart phase, and by the time the drydown arrives.Rasputin
