What do reviewers say about Sunwater and Escape for Men?
Lancaster's quietest win. Sunwater threads Riesling's vinous lift through the melon and florals, giving it a structure that reads sophisticated rather than sweet.Sunwater
If you want a fragrance that smells like a summer afternoon without trying too hard, this is it. The woody drydown keeps things from becoming cloying or overly sweet.Escape for Men
