    Real talk

    Most masculine fragrances from this era played it safe, aquatics, ozonics, the usual suspects. Pour L'Homme didn't. The mint-grapefruit opening is crisp, yes, but it actually goes somewhere.Fath Pour L'Homme
    This is the fragrance for someone who wants vetiver and nothing else. No florals to soften it, no sweetness to apologize for. Just the dry, earthy depth of roots and bark.Encre Noire
