    Real talk

    This fragrance earns its name. The opening is genuinely citrus-forward, grapefruit and mandarin orange that hit with immediate brightness, but it refuses to stay purely fresh.London
    It's been the baseline for 'masculine done right' since 1998, and for good reason. Fruity-sweet without being juvenile, warm without being heavy. The kind of scent that earns the word 'reliable' like.Boss Bottled
