What do reviewers say about Amber Kiso and The Black Knight?
Amber Kiso is not a crowd-pleaser. It opens sharp, cools down into something earthy and slightly bitter, and the leather-and-hinoki drydown asks you to lean in.Amber Kiso
This isn't a fragrance that eases you in. The opening demands you meet it, that leather isn't shy, the vetiver doesn't whisper. This is a story worth telling.The Black Knight
