What do reviewers say about Damascus Desert and Fierce?
This is the fragrance for someone who's past the point of trying too hard. The citrus keeps it honest, the iris keeps it interesting, and the base keeps it warm long after the occasion's over.Damascus Desert
Fierce is that guy at the party who smells like he just came from a cabin hike. It is fresh without being generic, woody without being heavy. Simple, effective, unpretentious.Fierce
