What do reviewers say about Sweet Taboo and By the Fireplace?
Not a safe choice. Not trying to be. Sweet Taboo is for the hour when rules soften, when the spice on your wrist is the only chaperone. Cardamom, cinnamon, cocoa, coffee. It earns its name.Sweet Taboo
Built for the hours you want to stay in. Not the ones you need to leave. The smoke leans Intimate, warm, woody, close. It doesn't fill the room. It earns it.By the Fireplace
