    What do reviewers say about Lavs and Casbah?

    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
    The angelica gives Casbah a green, almost bitter edge that makes the smoke actually interesting. You notice it in the opening, where the sharp herb cuts through the spice, and you notice it later.Casbah
