What do reviewers say about Charlatan and Chergui?

Most rose fragrances play it safe. Charlatan doesn't. The truffle keeps the sweetness honest, not candied, not synthetic, just rich enough to seduce without sugarcoating the ending.Charlatan

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
