What do reviewers say about City Love and Sahara Noir?
A dark rose-oud that doesn't coddle you. City Love lets the nagarmotha stay bitter, the geranium stay green. The composition refuses to smooth out its edges.City Love
This is not a quiet fragrance. The frankincense and oud drydown commands space, and the beeswax note will either fascinate you or remind you of a church you once attended.Sahara Noir
