True Original. The name says it all. Some guys want the whole room to notice, this one wants the person next to you to lean in closer. Patchouli anchors the base. Clean lines. Familiar territory.True Original
It's been the baseline for 'masculine done right' since 1998, and for good reason. Fruity-sweet without being juvenile, warm without being heavy. The kind of scent that earns the word 'reliable' like.Boss Bottled
