What do reviewers say about I and X For Men?
Built for someone who knows what they want and doesn't need to explain it. The spice hits first, cardamom and cinnamon doing the work, then the incense quietly takes over.I
X for Men is genuinely expensive, and it smells like it. The cardamom-ginger opening does not apologize for itself, and the vanilla drydown is patient enough to reward those who wait.X For Men
