    What do reviewers say about Back to Black and Unguentum?

    Back to Black is unapologetically rich, hovering in that dangerously intoxicating space between dessert and obssession. The honey-tobacco axis is seamless, the spice subtle enough not to overwhelm,.Back to Black
    Unguentum doesn't play it safe. Luca Maffei built this around tobacco, saffron, and honey, a Roman spice-trade fantasy with real weight. Sweet enough to draw someone in.Unguentum
