    What do reviewers say about Nomad and Hugo Red?

    Built for the wearer who never tries. That jasmine and amberwood don't announce themselves, they just stay, refusing to be anything other than what they are.Nomad
    Metal and rhubarb shouldn't pair. But they do, chrome opening, tart rhubarb cutting through, tonka softening by the end. Confident without being loud.Hugo Red
