What do reviewers say about Counterattack and Envy for Men?
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
This was never meant to be safe. Coriander and black pepper in the opening signal intent, and the leather drydown delivers. Not an office scent. Not for everyone. That is precisely the point.Envy for Men
