In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Chief by Riggs is a warm spicy aromatic men's fragrance built around cardamom, mint, lavender and rosemary, with a softer base of tonka bean, patchouli and oakmoss. It looks set up for someone who wants an herbal, slightly sweet fougere style with a cleaner minty opening and a smoother, warmer dry-down.

Reviews →

Curve Kicks for Men opens with a sharp burst of mint, bergamot, and ginger before warming into caraway and lavender. The scent settles into a dry wood base dominated by cedar, cashmere wood, and musk. It projects a fresh spicy herbal aroma suitable for casual spring mornings and quick afternoon errands.
