    Real talk

    This isn't the fragrance that wins awards. It's the one that never calls in sick. Workhorse cedar and pine, honest and unfussy, does the job whether you're in the office or hitting the trail.Swiss Army Forest
    This is the fragrance for someone who wants vetiver and nothing else. No florals to soften it, no sweetness to apologize for. Just the dry, earthy depth of roots and bark.Encre Noire
