What do reviewers say about Esquenta and Invictus?
A quiet heat. Not the kind that announces itself when you walk in, more the kind that makes a room lean closer. The rum and vanilla do the work. Someone always notices.Esquenta
Invictus opens fresh, yes, but underneath there's mineral depth and a warm resinous quality that adds unexpected dimension. The marine and citrus top notes create an immediate impression.Invictus
