What do reviewers say about A City On Fire and Blackmail?
Some fragrances want to be liked. This one doesn't care either way. The cade oil opens like a lit match near gasoline, volatile, immediate, a little dangerous.A City On Fire
This fragrance wants something from you. The berry-smoke combo isn't polite, it's the person at the bar who knows exactly what they're doing. Not for those who prefer their fragrances to ask.Blackmail
