    What do reviewers say about Fougère Platine and The Big Bad Cedar?

    This is the fougère that puts clary sage center stage, not in the wings. Most fragrances treat it as a supporting actor; here it's the lead. The honey gives it a warm glow without going sweet.Fougère Platine
    Here's the thing about cedar-forward fragrances: most of them smell like a candle. This doesn't. The name promises something feral, but what arrives is refined.The Big Bad Cedar
