What do reviewers say about R de Capucci and Balafre (Vintage)?
This is Italian chypre done the way 1985 intended, green, aldehydic, and unafraid of leather. Some will want more sweetness. Those people are missing the point.R de Capucci
This is a fragrance with opinions. The kind that opens sharp and never apologizes for it. The oakmoss isn't background noise, it's the whole point. What could have been another standard masculine.Balafre (Vintage)
