What do reviewers say about Iskander and D&G Masculine?
Iskander is for the person who doesn't need the room to know they've entered it. The opening is all sharp citrus and green herbs, confident, bracing, but give it time and the oakmoss shows up.Iskander
This is the scent of someone who doesn't need the room to know they're there. Not showy. Not trying to be the loudest. But the basil and mint keep things interesting long after the bergamot fades.D&G Masculine
