    What do reviewers say about Fidelis and Nanban?

    Rose absolute and oud. Coffee and saffron. Bold enough to announce itself in a crowded room, warm enough to pull off. Oud brings its deep, resinous anchor.Fidelis
    That opening either hooks you or scares you off, Nanban doesn't negotiate. But those who stay get a drydown that deepens for hours, resin and leather layered so densely it becomes almost.Nanban
