What do reviewers say about Declaration Essence and Olibanum?
This is what happens when you take a good fragrance and push it toward its own dark side. The tea and orange blossom open fresh enough to seem familiar.Declaration Essence
This one asks something of you. The myrrh and orange blossom create an unexpected interplay, sweet floral against resinous depth. Not everyone wants to sit with that.Olibanum
