What do reviewers say about Chembur and Blue Encens?
Temple incense isn't a feature, it's the whole point. Chembur asks you to sit with something before it opens up. If that's not for you, plenty of options are.Chembur
Most incense fragrances lean one of two ways: churchy or clubby. Blue Encens refuses both. The frozen spice opening, cardamom and black pepper at near-zero, is the actual hook.Blue Encens
