    What do reviewers say about Silk and Chergui?

    Not a soft fragrance at all, despite the name. White florals meet earthy materials, then something warmer develops over time. The contrast between cool and warm elements is what makes it worth.Silk
    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
