What do reviewers say about The Bee's Knees and Chypre Mousse?
This isn't sweet. The opening hits like cold smoke and bitter herbs, then something warmer takes over, tobacco and leather holding close. If that sounds like your kind of conversation.The Bee's Knees
It opens sharp and herbal. The green-fennel edge is the whole point. The mint-anise tension creates a distinctive aromatic character that defines the wear.Chypre Mousse
