    Real talk

    Tobacco-heavy fragrances tend to lean heavy or too sweet. Hepcat threads the needle. The cherry keeps it from getting dusty, the vetiver keeps it from getting syrupy. It's robust, yes, but worn close.Hepcat
    Baldessarini doesn't whisper. The tobacco and cloves give it a boldness that splits opinion, some find it commanding, others say it demands the room. But that's exactly the point.Baldessarini Hugo Boss
