What do reviewers say about Mr. Blass and Knize Ten?
The leather here is the gateway drug into leather. Not the scary kind, the kind that makes you wonder why you spent years avoiding the category. It's classic, it's warm.Mr. Blass
The leather-and-castoreum combination is the real thing here. Old-world. A little animal. That said, the citrus and clove heart keeps it from becoming a wallflower.Knize Ten
