    Real talk

    Pepper and coffee don't naturally play together. One sparks, the other grounds. Madras bridges them with tonka sweetness and sandalwood cream. Not a crowd-pleaser.Madras
    This is the fragrance equivalent of a walk through a European alpine valley on a cool morning. Green, coniferous, and approachable, yet it projects hard for the first hour and smells distinctly.Aspen for Men (Cologne)
