What do reviewers say about Bois d’Ombrie and Ashes?
This one doesn't announce itself. The opening is unusual, boozy, herby, a little strange, and some people bail at that point. But if you stay, what unfolds is a rich leather-iris heart wrapped in.Bois d’Ombrie
It's not subtle. The absinthe hits sharp, the smoke never fully leaves. But for those who want a fragrance that means something, that has a point of view, this is where to look.Ashes
