    Real talk

    This is a tobacco-citrus composition that actually earns its 1985 vintage. Not the fragrance that fills a room, it knows when to step back. Moderate sillage, but the drydown lasts and lasts.Open
    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
