    What do reviewers say about Skive and Broken Theories?

    Not for those who want their fragrance to apologize. Skive arrives with conviction: smoky Choya Loban resin, warm castoreum, a tobacco and saffron heart that reads almost medicinal before it warms.Skive
    This one doesn't wait for permission. It's bold, dark, and unapologetically smoky, exactly what you'd expect from a Kerosene release. Eight to ten hours of longevity means you're wearing this through.Broken Theories
