What do reviewers say about Idyllwild and Etra?
The rhubarb-tea opening divides opinion, tart, herbal, almost medicinal at first. But give it 10 minutes. That's when the oud and cypriol kick in, and the smoky campfire drydown is what earns your.Idyllwild
The milk note is the deciding factor. It takes what could be another warm spice fragrance and makes it feel closer, almost skin-adjacent. Ceylonese cinnamon keeps it from going too soft.Etra
