What do reviewers say about Basala and 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
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
