What do reviewers say about Counterattack and Vert des Bois?
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
Vert des Bois is built around poplar bud, a material that appears infrequently in modern perfumery. It hits the nose fast and differently. Some reach for it immediately; others need a minute.Vert des Bois
