What do reviewers say about Holy Stick and Relique D'Amour?
This isn't the incense that screams for attention. Holy Stick is the smoke that stays, close, warm, personal. The cardamom keeps it bright. The benzoin keeps it soft.Holy Stick
This is not a fragrance for those who want effortless applause. The resins and moss create something genuinely spiritual. If you want sweet or linear, look elsewhere.Relique D'Amour
