    The incense is the trick. Most fragrances dress it in incense' own mythology, holy, heavy, temple smoke. Feu Primitif strips that away. The Timut pepper gives the opening a frank.Feu Primitif
    The angelica gives Casbah a green, almost bitter edge that makes the smoke actually interesting. You notice it in the opening, where the sharp herb cuts through the spice, and you notice it later.Casbah
