    What do reviewers say about Stance and Explorer?

    This is the fragrance people either buy twice or pass on entirely. The synthetic-sweet thing divides opinion, some call it approachable, others call it artificial. Both are right.Stance
    It's not trying to be the most interesting fragrance in the room. That's exactly why it works. Explorer is the scent of someone who showed up without needing to prove anything.Explorer
