What do reviewers say about Counterattack and Nemo?
Bold has become a dirty word in modern fragrance. Too loud, too much, too something. Counterattack disagrees. Classic masculine sensibility with nothing wasted, every note earns its place.Counterattack
A Cacharel men's fragrance released at a time when the market was dominated by assertive masculine powerhouses. If that makes you nervous, you're not the one this was made for.Nemo
