    What do reviewers say about London and Chergui?

    This fragrance earns its name. The opening is genuinely aquatic-green, cucumber and violet leaf that reads like rain on stone, but it refuses to stay cool.London
    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
