    What do reviewers say about L'eau du Caporal and Centaure?

    This is the fougère you either already own or have been avoiding. The lemon-lavender opening is unapologetically classical, but the drydown reveals something deeper.L'eau du Caporal
    Not a safe fragrance. That's the point. The blackcurrant-fir combination makes it dark and heavy in a way most aromatics aren't. For someone who wants genuine green intensity and an oakmoss drydown.Centaure
