What do reviewers say about Tank Battle and Black Tar?
This is the fragrance that polarizes because it doesn't apologize for what it is. Sweet bubblegum. Dirty patchouli. They shouldn't work together. They do.Tank Battle
Black Tar does what most fragrances won't: it smells dangerous on purpose. The mineral-tuberose pairing is not a crowd-pleaser, it's a statement. Wear it knowing full well some people won't get it.Black Tar
