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 →

Versace V/S Homme starts with a sharp splash of lime and cold mint, supported by lavender. As the fragrance warms on skin, it transitions into a dry, herbal heart of sage and nutmeg before settling onto a clean base of cedar and oakmoss. It suits casual daytime wear in mild spring weather.
