Real talk
Mirabelle, chestnut, and sandalwood sounds like a dessert menu, and that is essentially what this fragrance delivers. The Absolu concentration means it sits close and lasts long, so apply accordingly.Scandal Pour Homme Absolu
Leather and rum come together with real skill in this composition. The leather reads smooth, the rum adds genuine warmth, and the tonka bean keeps everything from getting too heavy.John Varvatos XX Elixir
