What do reviewers say about Eau du Tsar and Roadster?
It's the quieter Tsar, same sandalwood soul, softer fruit and lavender instead of the original's boldness. Some call that approachable. Others miss the teeth.Eau du Tsar
Roadster puts mint and vanilla in the same room, and they actually get along. It's the kind of bold move that requires confidence to pull off, and that's exactly why people either love it immediately.Roadster
