What do reviewers say about Dark and By the Fireplace?
This isn't a dessert you wear. It's cocoa as it exists before sugar gets involved, bitter, dusty, almost ashy. The opening has a medicinal edge that some will love and others will resist.Dark
Built for the hours you want to stay in. Not the ones you need to leave. The smoke leans Intimate, warm, woody, close. It doesn't fill the room. It earns it.By the Fireplace
