    What do reviewers say about Hearth and With the Candlestick?

    Dense. Resinous. The kind of fragrance that doesn't negotiate. You'll either want to live in it or open a window. But here's the thing: "designed to work with your skin chemistry" isn't a warning.Hearth
    This one leans architectural, not sweet. Cherry wine gives it initial body but cinnamon prevents any dessert-like drift. The frankincense and smoke carry the load after the first hour.With the Candlestick
