What do reviewers say about Insomnia and Black Sea?
Leather and tobacco open most fragrances. The gin-and-lemon pivot forty-five minutes in? That's what makes Insomnia worth wearing. It smells like the clear-headed edge of a sleepless night.Insomnia
This is not a sunshine-and-sand fragrance. It leans hard into the tense, pressurized side of marine, with myrtle liqueur and ambergris giving it an almost astringent edge that will divide opinion.Black Sea
