What do reviewers say about Absolute and This Is Him!?
Ylang-ylang in a masculine fragrance is either the boldest move or the strangest. It's both. The floral sweetness doesn't soften this, it complicates it, in the best way.Absolute
This one actually delivers what the name promises. Black pepper and grapefruit hit first, clean and confident, before vanilla and frankincense add genuine warmth.This Is Him!
