What do reviewers say about Damascus and Herod?
Cinnamon fire opens, myrrh and tobacco anchor it close. A slow burn that lasts hours. Sweet enough to intrigue, dry enough to challenge. Either you're in or you're out. No middle ground with this one.Damascus
Some fragrances suggest. Herod insists. The tobacco-vanilla base isn't subtle, it's the whole argument, and it wins. Sweet enough to pull people in, structured enough to keep them at a distance.Herod
