What do reviewers say about Negus and Fille en Aiguilles?
The citrus doesn't stick around. That's the point, it's the opening act, not the headline. By the time the frankincense settles in, you're left with something austere, meditative, almost regal.Negus
Fille en Aiguilles is not a safe blind buy. The pine needles hit with an almost aggressive sharpness before the incense and dried fruits soften the edges.Fille en Aiguilles
