What do reviewers say about Bois d'Encens and Embers?
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
This fragrance doesn't whisper. The clove-spice opening announces itself, and the incense stays for hours, not because it's loud, but because it has something to say.Embers
