What do reviewers say about Blackmail and Metal Wave?
This fragrance wants something from you. The berry-smoke combo isn't polite, it's the person at the bar who knows exactly what they're doing. Not for those who prefer their fragrances to ask.Blackmail
Minimalist in the best sense. No stacking, no showboating. Just three notes doing exactly what they need to. Clean enough to wear anywhere, dry enough to never feel safe.Metal Wave
