    What do reviewers say about Rosa Nigra and Chergui?

    This is for someone who's tried the usual suspects and found them all a little too polite. Rosa Nigra doesn't announce itself, it waits. The herbal opening isn't a phase; it's the point.Rosa Nigra
    If you want the Moroccan desert in a bottle, this is it. Tobacco, honey, and incense create something rugged yet sweet. Not for those who prefer clean, aquatic fragrances.Chergui
