    Real talk

    Some '90s fragrances aged into dated curiosities. Light Him aged into a quiet argument, that yuzu-herb clarity, that spiced wood drydown, holds up. It skips the oceanic trope and goes green instead.Light Him
    This is a fragrance that feels genuinely of its era, the lavender and clary sage opening is quintessentially 1980s masculine, but the florals in the heart prevent it from feeling dated.Cacharel pour L'Homme
