In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Marc Jacobs Bang Bang delivers a crisp, energizing spin on masculine woods that feels easy to wear from the very first spray. It kicks off with a bright splash of Amalfi lemon, green watercress, and cool cardamom. Within twenty minutes, the sharp citrus mellows into a smooth core of creamy sandalwood and clean cashmer…

Reviews →

B. Green by Brooksfield is a rare, vintage fresh scent built around sharp Amalfi lemon and green pine. It transitions into a damp ivy heart, drying down into a warm base of dry tobacco and fig leaf. It fits a man looking for a clean, forest-like freshness during warm spring and summer mornings.
