In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Active Man Intense by Chris Adams delivers a crisp, energizing splash right out of the nozzle. The opening smells like brisk ocean air paired with chilled grapefruit and tart green apple. Do not overspray this. The citrus hits hard for five minutes before cooling down into herbal sage, fresh cypress, and soft lavender…

Reviews →

Forum Light Jeans opens with a sharp flash of lemon, lime, and crushed cardamom. As the vivid citrus accord softens, crisp apple and green moss settle over a dry base of cedar and musk. It wears close to the skin, making it an easy pick for humid summer afternoons and casual denim days.
