Jo Malone Huntsman Whisky & Cedarwood
If the name is any indication, this is one deep, dark, masculine cologne — and the description proves it’s exactly that. “Footsteps after dark on waxy wooden floors. An enigmatic nightcap. Fine whisky, edged with spicy pimento, finished with warm cedarwood. A fragrance for the small hours. Daring and intriguing.”
