What do reviewers say about Damascus and Cathedralis?
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
This is a contemplative fragrance, not a statement one. The smoke and incense pull no punches, but the floral-citrus opening keeps everything lifted, never heavy.Cathedralis
