What do reviewers say about Counterattack and The One Gentleman?
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
Lavender and vanilla shouldn't work this well together, one pulls cool, the other pulls warm. The One Gentleman makes it happen anyway. Sweet without becoming soft.The One Gentleman
