What do reviewers say about Bois d'Encens and Carambolage?
Some fragrances want to fill the room. This one wants to fill your memory. The smoke lingers, intimate and close, the way a fireplace does when the last log's gone but the warmth remembers it was.Bois d'Encens
Carambolage earns its name. The aldehydes give it a cool, almost distant quality while the rhubarb and cade oil keep pulling you back to something earthier, stranger. It's not trying to be pleasant.Carambolage
