    What do reviewers say about Targa and Norne?

    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
    Norne doesn't smell like a candle shop. It smells like walking through a Pacific Northwest forest, the kind of place where resinous fir trees dominate and moss covers everything in sight.Norne
