The rum-lavender combo walks into a bar and orders something nobody else has heard of. Sweet enough to pull you in, dry enough to keep you guessing. That's the whole appeal.Marc O'Polo Midsummer Man
Star anise is not a shy note. It opens this fragrance like a statement, and if black pepper follows, you know this is not playing it safe. Overall effect is warm and atmospheric.L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme EDT
