What do reviewers say about Indigo Smoke and Chergui?
Calice Becker sidesteps every smoky fragrance cliché here. Instead of a fireplace, you get a cold mountain morning with pine and incense drifting from a temple somewhere out of frame.Indigo 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
