What do reviewers say about Holy Stick and Chergui?
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
If you want the Moroccan desert in a bottle, this is it. Tobacco, honey, and incense create something rugged yet sweet. Not for those who prefer clean, aquatic fragrances.Chergui
