    What do reviewers say about Cape Wrath and Squid?

    Galbanum doesn't play nice. It arrives sharp, almost aggressive, and you'll either love it immediately or need a moment. The marine notes arrive anyway, settling the green into something coastal.Cape Wrath
    It is not for those who want a polite office scent. For the adventurous, its strange, inky heart offers a uniquely compelling beauty that is hard to forget.Squid
