What do reviewers say about Polo Crest and Drakkar Noir?
Polo Crest doesn't play it safe. The artemisia bites, the oakmoss grounds it, and nothing here is trying to please you. It's old-money confidence, the kind that doesn't explain itself.Polo Crest
This fragrance has opinions. The 1982 lavender-mint opening either speaks to you or it doesn't, and for those it speaks to, nothing else fills the same space.Drakkar Noir
