What do reviewers say about Cologne Noire and Versace Pour Homme?
Cologne Noire does something counterintuitive. It starts exactly like you'd expect, then gets warmer and more interesting as it goes. The ginger and black pepper aren't a power move.Cologne Noire
Versace Pour Homme plays a reliable game. The citrus opening is bold but not aggressive, and the cedarwood heart keeps things from getting too soft. The oud in the base is subtle enough not to scare.Versace Pour Homme
