What do reviewers say about The Essence Intense and Versace Pour Homme?
The opening reads fruity, almost sweet, that's the blueberry. Then the vetiver and black pepper arrive and the whole thing goes cool, dry, masculine. It's the kind of fragrance that shifts tone.The Essence Intense
Versace Pour Homme plays a reliable game. The citrus opening is bold but not aggressive, and the cedarwood heart keeps things from getting too soft. The oud in the base is subtle enough not to scare.Versace Pour Homme
