Lapidus pour Homme Black Extreme Ted Lapidus 2012

For me, Lapidus pour Homme Black Extreme generates an aura that is ideal for probably not harmonious conversations: critical employee meetings or to slow down the mother-in-law. One already says something without having lost words. It is already a weapon in this respect and I would not like to miss it. Fully straightforward and animalic.
Although there is no leather in it, it smells to me like leather bag and that of an old school teacher ... and he has a cane. Whether he uses it I do not know, but he has one. Overall, you should already be aware of it.
Surprisingly for me, my wife said that I smelled good when I wore it. For the most part, however, she gets mainly also the much softer drydown in the evening with.
