    Real talk

    This one divides the room. The coffee and myrtle combination isn't everyone's idea of appealing, but that's exactly the point. If you want a fragrance that everyone will like, look elsewhere.De Viris
    Some fragrances ask permission. Drakkar doesn't need to. The massive lavender upfront is the whole point, aromatic, clean, the kind of presence that walks into a room and doesn't wait for.Drakkar
