    What do reviewers say about Smoke and Chergui?

    This isn't a smoky fragrance that punches you in the chest. It's smoke as restraint, benzoin and tonka bean softening the edges, tobacco keeping everything grounded.Smoke
    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
