What do reviewers say about Gateau Blackout and Cocoa Woods?
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
That opening bites.Medicinal, synthetic, a little confrontational.If you can sit with it for fifteen minutes, you'll understand why people who found it kept wearing it. This one rewards patience.Cocoa Woods
