What do reviewers say about Series 3 Incense: Avignon and 1499?
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
The myrrh here doesn't bite. It warms. That's the first surprise. The second is how the jasmine sambac refuses to behave, lush, heady, almost too much before it settles.1499
