What do reviewers say about New York Intense and SULAWESI?
There's an oud in the base. Dense, animalic, not for the faint of heart. But here it's been tamed by blackberry sweetness and honey warmth, pulled into something that adds depth without dominating.New York Intense
Patchouli done the quiet way. Not loud, not skanky. Earth and Indonesian spice threaded through with restraint, the kind of confidence that doesn't announce itself.SULAWESI
