What do reviewers say about Palo Santo and Sissa?
The milk-rum combo either sounds like a dare or a comfort. Here's the thing: it works. It's sweet, yes, but the guaiac wood keeps it from being cloying. Warm without getting heavy.Palo Santo
Sissa is not here to reinvent the wheel, but it does refine it. The sesame and ambrette seed opening gives it an unusual edge before settling into the kind of lactonic comfort that makes people stop.Sissa
