    What do reviewers say about Rien Intense Incense and Varanasi?

    The aldehydes cut through everything: smoke, leather, the room itself. This is the Rien that doesn't ask permission. Darker, bolder, more insistent than the lighter original.Rien Intense Incense
    Not mass-appealing or office-safe. Varanasi demands commitment from the wearer and tolerance from those nearby. The animalic and leather components sit close to the skin but never fully retreat.Varanasi
