What do reviewers say about Avignon and Bois d'Encens?
This is the smoke of somewhere sacred, not something smoked at a bar. Built for the person who walks into a candlelit room and doesn't need to explain themselves.Avignon
Some fragrances want to fill the room. This one wants to fill your memory. The smoke lingers, intimate and close, the way a fireplace does when the last log's gone but the warmth remembers it was.Bois d'Encens
