What do reviewers say about Lavs and Santal Nabataea?
Lavs is not interested in being liked. It opens confrontational and stays spiritual. If you want something polite, look elsewhere. This is incense-draped drama for those who understand that fragrance.Lavs
Sandalwood that smells like it was roasted alongside the coffee. Not for those who want their woods clean and polite. But for anyone chasing something dusty, warm, and a little unexpected.Santal Nabataea
