    What do reviewers say about Gentleman and Kouros?

    Here's the thing about Gentleman: it's rich. Not shy about it. But it's the kind of richness that wears a suit, not the kind that wears out. The leather and olibanum base is the real draw.Gentleman
    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
