What do reviewers say about Counterattack and Antidote?
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
It's the EDT that refuses to stay light. Six hours in, you're still wrapped in warm spice and soft smoke, closer than cologne, more like a second skin. That's the deal you make when you choose this.Antidote
