What do reviewers say about Black XS and Italiano Nero?
This one divides. Some find the praline sweetness too much; others spray it every morning like their alarm. That citrus opening doesn't play it safe, it's the bridge to something richer.Black XS
Some fragrances play it safe. Italiano Nero doesn't, it's bold enough to announce you before you've said a word. Sweet enough to catch attention, warm enough to hold it. That's the whole point.Italiano Nero
