What do reviewers say about Joseph Abboud (Original) and Opium Pour Homme?
This won't stop you in your tracks. But it'll never let you down. Chamomile in a masculine base, that's either brilliant or wrong, depending on who you ask. Either way, it works.Joseph Abboud (Original)
This one splits people immediately. That star anise opening is polarizing, and the galangal-black pepper heart does not play nice for the faint-hearted.Opium Pour Homme
