What do reviewers say about Interlude Man and WAX & WANE?
It does not try to please everyone, and that is precisely why it works. The spice-and-resin architecture is bold but never bloated. A statement piece that rewards patience.Interlude Man
This one is not for those who want a safe bet. The coriander in the opening is herbal and slightly aggressive, and the saffron heart is not sweet. If you want warmth without sweetness, this earns.WAX & WANE
