What do reviewers say about Belle Bete and Montecristo?
The animalic base is the whole point. If that makes you nervous, this isn't your fragrance. If it makes you lean in, it probably is. This is a scent that asks you to commit or walk away.Belle Bete
Montecristo is a closed-room fragrance. The kind you reach for when the evening's already planned. Tobacco and rum don't ask permission, they arrive and settle, taking their time.Montecristo
