    Real talk

    This one divides. Some find the praline sweetness too much; others spray it every morning like their alarm. That citrus opening doesn't play it safe, it's the bridge to something richer.Black XS
    Built for the guy who doesn't overthink what he sprays. Not a statement fragrance. Not trying to announce itself across a room. The mint opening is genuinely refreshing.Signature
