What do reviewers say about Contre Pouvoir and Chergui?
The tobacco here isn't for show. It's the real thing, cured, sweet, honest. Combined with that licorice heart, it makes for a scent that rewards patience. Not a flash fragrance.Contre Pouvoir
If you want the Moroccan desert in a bottle, this is it. Tobacco, honey, and incense create something rugged yet sweet. Not for those who prefer clean, aquatic fragrances.Chergui
