What do reviewers say about Avignon and Mortel?
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
Spice-forward, resin-heavy, and unapologetically warm. Mortel is not a crowd-pleaser in the traditional sense. It projects modestly but lasts for hours, making it ideal for those who want a fragrance.Mortel
