What do reviewers say about With the Candlestick and Major Tom?
This one leans architectural, not sweet. Cherry wine gives it initial body but cinnamon prevents any dessert-like drift. The frankincense and smoke carry the load after the first hour.With the Candlestick
This one doesn't perform. It exists. The aquatic opening hits like static, then gives way to galbanum and vetiver doing something genuinely strange, earthy, almost rotten green.Major Tom
