What do reviewers say about Series 3 Incense: Avignon and Velvet Incenso?
This is not a casual office scent. Avignon demands intention. The chamomile aldehydes offer an unusual herbal lift, but the real story is the frankincense-myrrh core, which is powerful, spiritual,.Series 3 Incense: Avignon
This isn't the incense that announces itself across the room. Velvet Incenso opens cool, almost austere, before warmth settles in close. But for anyone who wants something that lingers near the skin.Velvet Incenso
