What do reviewers say about Pax and Don't Ask Me Permission?
Pax is that rare beast: a fragrance that swings from lush fruit to smoky intensity without losing its coherence. The Black Grape and Passion Fruit give it immediate appeal, but the Oud and Leather.Pax
If you want something safe, keep browsing. This one smells like a beach cocktail with no regrets. Sweet, tangy, boozy and unapologetically fun. Not for the faint-hearted or the office.Don't Ask Me Permission
