    What do reviewers say about Windsor and Kouros?

    Some fragrances enter a room. Windsor enters a conversation. The aldehydes and citrus make a bold first impression, but the tobacco-oud drydown is where it earns its reputation, heavy, warm.Windsor
    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
