What do reviewers say about Prison Blues and Lyric Man?
Cardamom and pepper that don't apologize. Then it gets interesting, cedar rounds what could have been harsh into something you lean toward. Not for those who want their fragrance to whisper.Prison Blues
This isn't your typical men's fragrance with its rose-forward heart. It's unapologetically complex. The spice level demands attention and the frankincense base ensures it lingers.Lyric Man
