Drakkar Noir After Shave
ASMen
The Story
Drakkar Noir After Shave is a classic aromatic fougère that soothes and refreshes after shaving. It opens with bright bergamot and lemon, then settles into a heart of lavender and geranium. The base is warm and woody with oakmoss, patchouli, and leather. It's a timeless scent that brings back memories of the 80s, but this after-shave version is lighter and perfect for daily use.
