    What do reviewers say about Monsieur de Fath and Tsar?

    The tonka bean is the tell. It's what separates this from every other woody-citrus in the running. Not assertive. Not trying to fill a room. Just quietly doing its thing.Monsieur de Fath
    This is old-world masculine. Not old-fashioned, old-world. The kind of fragrance that smells like decisiveness, like someone who's never had to explain themselves twice.Tsar
