What do reviewers say about Targa and Fille en Aiguilles?
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
Fille en Aiguilles is not a safe blind buy. The pine needles hit with an almost aggressive sharpness before the incense and dried fruits soften the edges.Fille en Aiguilles
