What do reviewers say about Flying and Gentlewoman?
Flying isn't interested in announcing itself. Some people find that frustrating. Others find it deeply wearable, almost cozy, ozonic without aggression, floral without sweetness.Flying
For anyone who's wanted a cologne that doesn't flinch, this delivers. The almond and musk drydown keeps it from being just another fresh citrus. Bold in the old-school way, without smelling like it.Gentlewoman
