What do reviewers say about Gideon and Blamage?
Gideon doesn't try to make itself likeable. The animalic civet and raw leather are the whole point, not a surprise lurking in the base, but the statement from the start.Gideon
Blamage does not try to please you. The birch note alone will split opinion, and the leather that follows is not a comfortable accessory. Wear it as a statement, not a plea.Blamage
