What do reviewers say about Iceberg Man and Private Black?
Iceberg's warm, spicy direction surprised observers. The drydown is where it earns its reputation, amber, benzoin, and patchouli that do not let go.Iceberg Man
Warm, spicy, and unapologetically intimate. Oud and amber stay close, not loud. It's a scent that feels skin-like, present without projecting.Private Black
