    What do reviewers say about Pour Homme and Kouros?

    This is the fougère that still holds up after forty-six years. Bold? No. Revolutionary? Also no. But the lavender-anise-leather triad is so balanced, so wearable.Pour Homme
    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
