What do reviewers say about Urushi and Kouros?
The civet in the base will split the room. Either you're the person who reaches for it, or you're not. There's no middle ground here, and that's the whole point. Sweet enough to wear.Urushi
A scent that demands a decision. The aldehydes hit sharp. But what follows is yours alone, and it lasts all day. The leather-animalic drydown is confrontational by design.Kouros
