What do reviewers say about Governors Island and Bois d'Argent?
Incense-forward fragrances walk a fine line. This one earns the smoke with enough warmth underneath that you're never left in the cold. Intimate by design, not accident.Governors Island
Bois d'Argent is restrained by design. The frankincense opening reads cool, almost clinical, before the myrrh and iris heart softens the picture. If you want a quiet statement, this delivers.Bois d'Argent
