    What do reviewers say about Photo and Green Pearl?

    This won Fragrance of the Year in 1991 for a reason, it's one of those rare masculine scents that bridges old-world barbershop and something genuinely modern.Photo
    Spring captured in a bottle. The apple and neroli opening is genuinely charming, the black pepper and tea heart adds intrigue without heaviness. Oakmoss keeps the charming apple grown-up.Green Pearl
