What do reviewers say about Black Sea and 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
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
