What do reviewers say about Herat and Fortis?

Some smell incense and resins in Herat's hashish note. Others perceive something closer to actual sticky green. Either way, this fragrance isn't designed for the faint of heart.Herat

Most oud fragrances play it safe. Fortis doesn't. The cumin in the opening is a statement, earthy, animal, a little unapologetic. That's the whole appeal.Fortis
