    What do reviewers say about Targa and Avignon?

    Targa is the scent of someone who doesn't need to fill the room. Smoke and warmth, but restrained, the kind that gets remembered, not announced. Cold incense up top.Targa
    This is the smoke of somewhere sacred, not something smoked at a bar. Built for the person who walks into a candlelit room and doesn't need to explain themselves.Avignon
