Juicy Couture is gearing up to launch a gentleman's fragrance range of products called Dirty English. From what I've read, the scent seems like it's for the stylish bad-boy type. (The inspiration partly came from co-founder Gela Nash-Taylor's husband John Taylor of Duran Duran.)
I haven't smelled this scent yet, but it has a long list of notes: blue cypress, bergamot, peppered mandarin, marjoram, black leather, sandalwood, cedarwood, vetiver roots, agar, ebony wood, black moss absolute, amber musk, caraway, and cardamom pods.
