What do reviewers say about Flux and By the Fireplace?
The blueberry note is the surprise here, it is not sweet or playful, it sits cold and slightly tart beneath mint and cardamom. The drydown is where this earns its keep, the sequoia and cashmeran.Flux
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
