    What do reviewers say about Mirage du Desert and Chergui?

    Reviewers have described this fragrance in varied terms. One called it vegetable broth, another called it grounding. The combination of fig and sandalwood creates creamy woods under green strangeness.Mirage du Desert
    If you want the Moroccan desert in a bottle, this is it. Tobacco, honey, and incense create something rugged yet sweet. Not for those who prefer clean, aquatic fragrances.Chergui
