    What do reviewers say about Dark Saphir and Chergui?

    This is a fragrance that asks something of you. The opening is a riot of spice and fruit, raspberry, pepper, ginger, and it doesn't apologize. Then the rose and oud arrive, and the whole thing shifts.Dark Saphir
    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
