What do reviewers say about Gold Regatta and X-Bolt?
Marine fragrances usually play it safe. Gold Regatta doesn't. The fig peel gives it a green, slightly bitter edge that keeps the vanilla from going full dessert.Gold Regatta
Here's the thing about X-Bolt: it doesn't try to be something it isn't. No overwrought promises or dramatic transformations. What it is, is a clean, straightforward fragrance that does its job well.X-Bolt
