What do reviewers say about Kenzo pour Homme and Basala?
This is the fragrance that polarizes in the best way. The marine note isn't clean or soapy, it's coastal in a way that remembers boats, not showers. That salty wood is a choice.Kenzo pour Homme
The 1990s were drowning in aquatics and clean freshies. Basala went the opposite direction, a bold, leathery chypre with enough herbal complexity to smell like nothing else on the market.Basala
