What do reviewers say about Imperial Valley and Reef 33?
Gissah chose an unexpected name and committed fully. This is not another Middle Eastern oud fragrance. The cool green notes keep the oud in check, and the leather in the base is genuinely refined.Imperial Valley
Saffron and rosemary is an unusual pairing, cool and warm in the same breath. Some find that tension the whole point. Others need twenty minutes to decide.Reef 33
