What do reviewers say about Boss Number One and Kouros?
Honey and oakmoss. The combination that divides a room. Some wearers describe it as warm, sensual, subtly sweet. Others catch something animalic in the honey that doesn't work on their skin.Boss Number One
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
