What do reviewers say about Spirit Of Japan and Oud Wood?
This isn't about Japan the way a postcard is about Japan. It's about the idea of incense as ritual, borrowed from kōdō and filtered through a Gulf attar tradition.Spirit Of Japan
Oud without the intimidating punch. This takes that precious, sometimes brutal note and polishes it into something you'll actually want to smell on yourself. That's the move here, and it pays off.Oud Wood
