What do reviewers say about Heresy and Ambre Sultan?
This is incense that doesn't ask permission. Most smoky fragrances tiptoe around the fire, Heresy walks right in. The pepper-violet opening is its statement: cold, green, almost austere.Heresy
This is not the amber of amber-filled cookies or syrups. It is raw, resinous, and aggressively warm, with herbal and savory notes that emerge depending on your skin chemistry.Ambre Sultan
