    What do reviewers say about Riso and Chergui?

    Most fragrances play it safe. Riso doesn't, rice and soy sauce in the drydown will either intrigue you or make you double-check the bottle. It's the kind of composition that rewards curiosity.Riso
    If you want the Moroccan desert in a bottle, this is it. Tobacco, honey, and incense create something rugged yet sweet. Not for those who prefer clean, aquatic fragrances.Chergui
