What do reviewers say about Before Midnight and L'Homme?
The synthetic-fruity character either appeals or doesn't. But when tonka and tobacco hold the drydown warm and confident, the composition achieves a satisfying completeness.Before Midnight
Built for the man who's already in the room. The citrus opens with immediate energy, but it's the patchouli-tonka drydown that earns the reputation. Moderate projection, quietly confident.L'Homme
