    Real talk

    Peony in a men's fragrance is a gamble. Here it works, softening the fennel, tempering the coffee, giving the whole thing a warmth that doesn't apologize for itself. Bold, but not aggressive.Innovation
    Encounter doesn't try to be everything. It's warm, it's woody, it's got enough rum to be interesting without turning into a cocktail. The oud shows up late and stays quiet.Encounter
