What do reviewers say about Herod and 2nd Soul?
Some fragrances suggest. Herod insists. The tobacco-vanilla base isn't subtle, it's the whole argument, and it wins. Sweet enough to pull people in, structured enough to keep them at a distance.Herod
Some fragrances announce themselves. 2nd Soul lingers, smoke and suede arriving hours later, unexpected from that bright boozy start. It's the second hour that earns the trust.2nd Soul
