What do reviewers say about Boss Number One and Ténéré?
Honey and oakmoss. The combination that divides a room. Some wearers describe it as warm, sensual, subtly sweet. Others catch something animalic in the honey that doesn't work on their skin.Boss Number One
The honey-anise heart is a flex. Either you're into that warm/medicinal tension or you're not, but the people who are tend to be very much into it. This isn't a fragrance that eases you in.Ténéré
