What do reviewers say about Light My Fire and Smudge?
Tobacco that doesn't apologize for itself. The honey makes it approachable, but underneath there's something that makes people lean in rather than step back.Light My Fire
Smudge doesn't try to be pleasant. It tries to be honest, smoke as a perfume concept, not a candle pun. The frankincense keeps it sacred. The tonka bean keeps it human.Smudge
