    What do reviewers say about Cuir and Kouros?

    The saffron opening splits people, medicinal to some, the start of something complex to others. Either way, give it 30 minutes. The leather takes over, and it's worth the wait.Cuir
    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
