What do reviewers say about Wabi-Sabi and Nektar?
The serenity is real. The sensuality is also real. Wabi-Sabi earns its name, imperfect, transitory, unexpectedly seductive. Those who love it describe something that rewards patience.Wabi-Sabi
If the word "honey" makes you brace for sweetness overload, Nektar earns the benefit of the doubt. The honey here is warm and aromatic, framed by leather and incense rather than drowned in syrup.Nektar
