What do reviewers say about Cape Heartache and Cologne du Maghreb?
Cape Heartache is not a safe blind buy. While strawberry-vanilla sounds gourmand, pine and hemlock are the true backbone. It's not a sweet, juicy fruit.Cape Heartache
Colognes are supposed to evaporate. This one doesn't. The cedar in the drydown has real presence, the kind that stays close without ever being loud.Cologne du Maghreb
