What do reviewers say about Gateau Blackout and By the Fireplace?
DS&Durga teamed with Idles frontman Joe Talbot and the result is exactly as uncompromising as you'd expect. Smoke meets cake, cherry meets ash, it's the fragrance equivalent of a band that refuses to.Gateau Blackout
Built for the hours you want to stay in. Not the ones you need to leave. The smoke leans Intimate, warm, woody, close. It doesn't fill the room. It earns it.By the Fireplace
