    Real talk

    Carnation in a cologne makes people nervous. Good. The spice borders on medicinal, then softens into something you'll keep reaching for. This is a fragrance that doesn't apologize for its boldness.Varon Dandy
    The leather-and-castoreum combination is the real thing here. Old-world. A little animal. That said, the citrus and clove heart keeps it from becoming a wallflower.Knize Ten
