    What do reviewers say about Bon Monsieur and Drakkar Noir?

    This is a fougère that doesn't apologize for what it is. The oakmoss brings genuine earthiness, and the structure holds together from opening to dry down.Bon Monsieur
    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
