What do reviewers say about Eau du Tsar and Eau Fresh?
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
Aromatic green that chose herbs over ocean water. That galbanum opening is either your first love or your last, depending on who you are. For the man who skips safe, this is the move.Eau Fresh
