What do reviewers say about Gideon and Kouros?
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
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
