What do reviewers say about Series 3 Incense: Avignon and Balm - Holy Metal?
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 one breathes cold. The incense heart is cool, almost mineral, not the warm temple smoke you'd expect. Some find it meditative. Others find it too still. That's the trade.Balm - Holy Metal
