What do reviewers say about Pale Fire and Wildfire?
Pale Fire doesn't try to smell expensive. It smells true. The powdery cocoa and vanilla work as a pair, gourmand enough to comfort, dry enough to keep you interested.Pale Fire
The opening hits hard. Peppermint and black pepper make for a sharp, almost confrontational first impression, but it's the costus root in the base that keeps people talking for hours.Wildfire
