    What do reviewers say about Fantasque and Caftan?

    Incense smoke first, then something warmer arrives and stays. This is the kind of fragrance you don't wear to be noticed, you wear it to remember.Fantasque
    The frankincense at its heart is not subtle. It announces itself in a way that some will read as church incense and others will call magnificent, and that's the draw.Caftan
