What do reviewers say about Ébène and Halfeti?
If you're after something safe, look away. Ébène runs on smoke, myrrh, and incense, a heavyweight in a market that loves to play light. But that resinous depth is exactly what makes it last 8-10.Ébène
Halfeti is uncompromising in its richness and complexity. The cumin and oud give it an edge that polarises, but the rose and vanilla prevent it from tipping into darkness.Halfeti
